check these out: http://www.cascademedia.net/cgi-bin/cmedia/calrad35-460.html

i want to be able to take a sbd analog output signal and input into my ua5. i am going to pick up some high end rca's from the local car stereo shop, unless u guys think i should not, and then use this type connector incase a sbd doesnt have rca's but has xlr's.

input from the gallery please!?!?!!

those should do it.

I've run board XLRm > XLRf/RCAf adapter > RCAm cable > modSBM1 before just fine.

I think I have the Hosa XLRf/RCA adapters and I used Canare RCA cables.  I think it's a fine way to go.

Watch your levels.
The output from a mixing board (pro gear) is hotter than the output from consumer gear. So be careful about overloading your input stage. Hmmm... Isn't the input into the UA-5 XLR?

[cpclark]

the ua5 has balanced xlr's and unbalanced rca inputs, in theory you can run 4 channels through, sbd matrix anyone?

well, i just picked up some Tsunami rca twisted pair audio cables that are 17ft, nickel plated, and have silver solder connections. they were the best rca cables i could find. they were more expensive than the monster cables and look a lot cooler too. retail = 89$ my cost $34
