Hi there
I bought 2 Rotel RMB 1585 which I picked up today and had found on both amps there is no signal on XLR cables. First solution I thought had to be the Marantz av 8801, I reset it a number of times made sure they're all XLR and nothing( Thoug. I even tried a crown xlr 1500 power amp and that worked on balanced. Next thing is I started to research how can 2 power amps brand new not work on XLR. I researched on forums and then noticed on another forum a member had the same issue. But then his installer tried unbalanced interconnects which worked and then they went back to XLR and it worked. So I decided to try that on one channel (FR) with the Unbalanced (RCA) it worked and when I switched back to XLR the FR was working this time : confused:
So what is the go with these power amps? I have two that suffer the same problem so I have to run them all first using RCA and then change them into Balanced? Is this a known issue?
