balanced/unbalanced?
(1/1)
admkrk:
ok i know balanced cables are better because of a reason lack of brain cell function won't let me say.
but how do they interact w/ equipment ment for unbalanced?
i.e. dat deck i/o - unbalanced xlr
basicly is there some kind of conflict ? or is the dif. only in the cables themselves w/ no interchange problems at all ?
thanks for enjoying my stupidity, kirk
admkrk:
thanks moke,
i think i see were i got confused now
if i'm right it only matters going to 1/4"
if i switch to balanced cables>mx100 i'd need the converter not just an adapter
and i can run unbalaced cables>da-30 no, that doesn't look right
let me step back a bit, i'm trying to get cables to cover all my options. price wise it looks like building my own would be a lot cheaper, but i need to get order everything at once to keep down shipping costs. so that's part of my confussion (need to learn how to use pen & paper).
lost my train o thought. looks like the 'cane's missing us though. i'll continue in a bit after i regroup.
thanks again so far, kirk
admkrk:
let me try again
if i use 2 conducter wire i have on my balanced cable : pin 1 - shield
pin 2 - +
pin 3 - -
on my adapter cable, i just take the wire that would go to pin three and move to pin 1 w/ shield, then run both to ring and pin 2(+) to tip. simple enough.
but how does pin 3 become hot(+) as in fig. 3 ?
