Do I already have a suitable cable for this project? (Mogami - Belden - PPC)

[jonwb]

Hi,

I need to rekindle my soldering skills and make some 1/4" to RCA cables to run from my Audient ID22 audio interfaces' 1/2 and 3/4 outputs. The project consists of two 18" cables for a Topping HP amp, and two 8' cables going to a Adcom 100wx2 amplifier. I can run either balanced or unbalanced connections from the Audient, but both the Topping and Adcom have unbalanced RCAs.

I have some Mogami Neglex 2549 microphone cable, some Belden 9451 mic/line instrument cable and some PPC Perfect Flex 75 ohm coaxial cable. Which of these three should I use and if none of them, what would you suggest?

(using Neutrik gold-plated connectors)

Any are fine and as long as they are shielded there will be difference.

Use the unbalanced outputs.

no difference.

Use the unbalanced outputs.

I was hoping you'd favor "balanced" since my Neutriks are TRS. Oh well, I'm sure there's a workaround. Thanks

Since the inputs are unbalanced using the balanced outputs calls for trouble.

No need to buy TS. Use the TRS and leave the ring connector unconnected.

Yeah, with RCAs I wouldn't have tried that. Thanks for the tip using the TRS plugs. I don't have many connections that need these so it'll be nice to finally have a project for them.
