xlr

Hi everyone, I have a miniDSP SHD, 2 passive speakers and 1 subwoofer. Speakers and sub connected via XLR (using outputs 1, 2 and 3 respectively). I just got a couple of active monitors and will connect them to the miniDSP, also via XLR, to use the same subwoofer and EQ them. (Not to use them...

Hello everyone, I’d like to share a product I recently finished designing under the Nereneas brand: eXpLoRer, a balanced XLR source selector. The idea came from a practical problem in my own system. I often have multiple balanced sources connected (DAC, tape playback electronics, phono stage...

Dear Forum contributors: hi everyone. I need your advice. I'd like to set up a system with a pair of Yamaha HS8 studio monitors and—here's the peculiarity—not one but a pair of Yamaha HS8-S subwoofers. So it wouldn't be a 2.1 system but a "2.2" (or, better said, a pseudo-3-way). The goal is for...

I currently have some ordinary cheap xlr cables tied to my Cyrus phono pre amplifier and McIntosh 7200 Amplifier, will a high quality xlr cable improve the sound?

Hi guys. Any idea why that is the case? I would prefer buying 4.4mm to dual 1/4" cables, or 4.4mm to dual 3-pin XLR cables, or other 4.4mm terminated assembled interconnects from well established cable manufacturers like e/s Sommercable, Adam Hall, Cordial, Melodika, Oehlbach, Wireworld, ...and...

Hello everyone, I have a Modius E and Jotunheim 2 stack, and although low-profile XLR connectors already exist on the market for a lot of Schiit stacks, they don't cover this specific paring, and its offset plugs. I quickly made a walnut Z, cut a top off it, and hollowed out the inside with...

Hello everyone, I've built myself a custom low-profile connector for my Modius-Jotunheim Schitt Stack. I'm at the point where I'm about to start wiring the pairs of XLR connectors together, and it's a straightforward task. Connect pin 1 male to pin 1 female. Pin 2 male to pin 2 female. Etc. My...

HI, First post here so hi to all. I've been looking for a Bluetooth receiver that outputs to balanced XLRs or 1/4 balanced Jacks, and can receive 24bit 96khz. There doesn't seem to be many around that can do this. Either being RCA outputs or 48Khz. I've seen a few online reviewers that...

EDIT: ANSWERED: http://micmodkits.com/other/ Y cable with the right resistors and stuff built in to it for $45. Perfect https://www.amazon.com/SPRODIO-Converter-Adapter-summing-SC21/dp/B0BRZCGY29 That's the RCA version of what I want, where's an XLR device to do the same thing? Preferably...

Hi everyone! This is my first post here. Many thanks to Amir for the hard work and detailed measurements and analysis in each review. Many thanks to the rest of the ASR community for the feedback and info provided. Onkyo TX-SR3100 It's advertised as 5.2 but in reality it is 5.1 with 2...

I have decided to go with 2 subs that apparently have a fair bit of delay due to all of the processing they do. (KEF KC92). Someone recommended to use the miniDSP 2x4 HD, as it not only does room correction, but also has adjustments for speaker delay. However, the miniDSP 2x4 HD does not have...

Hello, Brief guide on my setup: - I have an SMSL DO100 DAC which is connected directly into my active monitors using an xlr cable. - The DAC is connected to my TV with blutooth - I have an audiotechnica lp120x with has phono/line out. My current issue is that I cannot connect the DAC XLR out...

Should I use balanced or unbalanced interconnects to an unbalanced integrated amplifier with 6.35mm single-ended headphone output? Both RCA and XLR inputs are provided, though the amplifier is not a balanced design. The manufacturer says: "Typically we prefer to use the balanced XLR inputs if...

Hello guys, I have Sennheiser HD 490 pro, and I am willing to replace the original cable and switch to a balanced connection. However I am finding difficulty in finding the right cable. Sennheiser HD 490 Pro has a 4-pin mini XLR connection, and on the other end, I have an amplifier with a...

Problem: When computer off, very quiet white noise from speakers. When computer on, nasty electrical noise when idle. When computer doing heavy work (CPU or GPU, probably power draw related), absolutely awful squealing. This has been a pain for years, and finally remembered to try out using a...

Good time of day. Please tell me how best to connect the Airpulse A300 pro stereo pair to my stack. Stack Topping D90SE\A90D. Is it possible to connect the A300 XLR to the A90D (already connected by XLR balance to the DAC)? Or do I need to change the circuit by reconnecting the stack via RCA to...

This issue has been touched upon but not precisely, when BOTH XLR and RCA outputs are being used simultaneously…. Setup: XLR out (via converter) to RCA monoblocks, short run, AND RCA out to dual subs with independent gain and crossover control. Audible, unmeasured findings seem that once the...

I‘m planning to complement my amp with a dac that is placed in a different corner of the room — multiple meters apart. From what I‘ve read, an XLR connection is strongly preferrable for long distances. The dac I consider getting (dacmagic 200m) has XLR outs, however, my amp (axa35) only has...

I am planning to build my first own headphone cable for my modded DT770pro with 3Pin mini XLR connector and need help with soldering. I bougth the following components for it: Cable)Mogami 2893 Microphone cable, Neglex Quad Miniatur, 4.8mm (Mini XLR Adapter 3 Pin) Rean RT3FC-B (1/4 Jack)...
