Re: [xl7] Balanced cables

2002-04-25 by Jonathan El-Bizri

If i connect a balanced connector into one of the sub-outs, and then connect
it to a balanced input in my mixer, will it just work as a normal unbalanced
signal?

>>>Depends on the wiring of the cable, as long as the Tip is hot, it should
work fine.  MOst cables are this wayt, so it shouldn't be an issue.  BTW,
someone mentioned that only the main out's were balanced, are you sure about
that?  Because they can operate as send/returns, I'm pretty sure they're
balanced too.... <<<<

Humph. I would wait till someone from emu got back to you on this. My
assumption would be that because the subouts worked as send/returns, there
wouldn't be a way for them to be balanced as well. If you put a balanced
cable in, it would try to send on one channel and receive on the other. So,
at best, you would only be using one channel of the cable.
