Help going from RCA > XLR
« on: June 11, 2010, 10:28:21 AM »
I have an Nbox and I am exploring the possibility of going Nbox > R-44 via the XLR input.

my question is:
1. should I buy a cable that goes from RCA > XLR or
2. should I just use an RCA cable and get an adapter that goes RCA > XLR. (IF this is the case any ideas on a good one for a decent price?)

Thanks!!

imo it depends on if you want to use the same cable for other options
i like to have a solid cable if poss so there is less chance of error but then you might not want to have 3 or 4 different cables for different things and adapters would be handy
Mics - AKG ck61/ck63 (c480b & Naiant actives), SP-BMC-2
XLR Cables - Silver Path w/Darktrain stubbies
Interconnect Cables - Dogstar (XLR), Darktrain (RCA > 1/8) (1/8 > 1/8), and Kind Kables (1/8f > 1/4)
Preamps - Naiant Littlebox & Tinybox
Recorders - PCM-M10 & DR-60D

I am more than ok with a solid cable as long as it is not a lot more expensive to do so.

What do you recommend for a solid cable??

go with option one.

contact darktrain or tgakidis.

you'll need to specify if you want any right angles and how long the cable should be.
