In the past did encountered similar issues as @adLuke.
These issues were always related to 5m cables and never with shorter ones.
With some 5m cables, it was fine and with other not.

I ended up by getting 5m active ones (for mic and minidsp...
Don't worry about it.

Thus, I think I will be nice to rename the thread to have single ended / balanced information within it.

Am I correct ?
Boxem Arthur 3409/N2 for sale : 450€.
Excellent condition and functioning as day 1.
Bought in October 2021 from Boxem for 860€.
Based on hypex NC252MP module and XLR inputs.
While cheaper hypex based amp are available new, Boxem amplifiers are indeed a bit more expensive.
But:
- better...
A Boxem "A" 5517/N2 (ncx500) just replaced an Boxem Arthur 3409/N2 (nc252mp) !
Kept sourcing with Fred as I value the care he puts in his designs (thermal management, electric safety) and his value proposition (casing, auto sense)
DHL was very fast. Fred sent yesterday afternoon and I received...
