xlr setup question

[cameronl]

hi there, I'm trying to eliminate hiss from my setup. Does anyone know whether it is possible to do the following.

(Source XLR Out) > XLR cable > (C2 XLR In)

(C2 RCA Out) > RCA cable > (A52 RCA In)

thanks for your time.

Hmmm, hiss. not sure hiss can be attributed to cable noise to begin with.

Half your connections above work, the XLR source out to XLR pre-in will work great.

The second connection, will receive no benefit from XLR, because transferring to RCA makes it an unbalanced connection, and as if there are truly no XLR connections at all involved.

On the outside, it could be that something from the above makes a difference in your system, but not REAL likely.

I'll tweak my system

As far as Halo specific parameters, yes, channels which are INPUT via the balanced ports CAN be output via RCA's, if your amps or whatever do not have balanced connectors.

not to high jack.....

Is there an adapter that allows XLR to plug in to an RCA. Like XLR on one end and a male rca on the other?

[Lex]

Drew, there is such an adapter. I'm not sure if the Shack sells one or not, but there is one in existence.
