Product Information

Now I suspect you will have short runs. The only advantage of unbalancing at input rather than source is signal to noise and not sound quality per se. The second "stereo" adapter is an unknown. It may be designed as an adapter to send a mono RCA signal to both stereo channels of a stereo TRS input. In that case the tip and ring would be connected together. If it's wired that way it won't work as a mono TRS to RCA adapter when connected to a balanced output. It may be wired with the Ring open. If so it will work as well as as TS adapter when connected to a impedance balanced output, but not at all if connected to a transformer balanced output. The transformer-based approach (like with Neutrik NA2F-DOB-TX or much more expensive Jensen transformers) will work and avoid ground loop issues. Transformers also have higher common-mode rejection ratio than what can be achieved with semiconductors. The distortion might not matter for use with tube amplifiers that already have a transformer in the signal path or with subwoofers.

The Aux Send outputs bypass the main group and stereo faders so it is probably more useful for you to use either the The main reason why two wires aren't enough for a high-performance audio interconnect is that no matter what you do, there will be current caused by a different ground potentials and/or a real-world interference flowing through the shield conductor. Since the shield conductor has a non-zero impedance, this current will produce a voltage and in case the shield conductor also doubles as a signal conductor, this voltage will be mixed straight into your audio. For XLR connectors, pin-2 is the hot conductor, pin-3 is the cold conductor, and pin-1 is the shield conductor. I know I'm coming in late on this one, but other people might benefit. The statement that "all pins must be connected" is not true. It will depend on the equipment and whether you are connecting to an input or output. In many cases, it is a best practice to jumper + and - on an input when connecting an unbalanced signal to a balanced input. So, in this case, yes all pins would be connected.WARNING: This adaptor(TRS to RCA) is ONLY to be used for the Flex OUTPUTS. We've noticed a performance drop (15dB SINAD drop) when using such adaptor for INPUTS of the FLEX. For that reason, we do not recommend customers to use an unbalanced to balanced cable on the "input" side of the Flex. If you want to have unbalanced in/out for both inputs and outputs, it's strongly recommended that you just use the miniDSP Flex unbalanced version. The miniDSP Flex was engineered with best performance in mind and it's therefore our intention to stay consistent on making sure best audio quality is kept for this platform! In this app note, we will demonstrate subwoofer integration for miniDSP'sstereoDirac Live processors using only the Dirac Live app for measurement So I would go ahead and do it the way you intended. If there is no hum or buzz, then you are fine. If there is then you should formally float the line as I described. Only fully-floating, transformer-balanced outputs require that the ring terminal is grounded when driving an unbalanced input. Impedance balanced or electronically balanced outputs do not. Your US-1800 is not transformer-balanced. As you can see opinions vary greatly on this matter. But I would say if you get good quality cable, you are safe if you are in the roughly 25 foot or perhaps 30ft range.

There are three types of balanced outputs: 'impedance balanced', 'transformer balanced', and 'active balanced'. Each type of balanced output requires different considerations when connecting to an unbalanced load. With each case discussed, we will assume that 2-conductor (unbalanced) wire is being used, as 3-conductor wire will offer no advantages when driving unbalanced loads. In this application note, we will show you how to integrate a subwoofer with your existing loudspeakers by using a miniDSP 2x4 HD/Flex. You can use an existing preamp, or replace a preamp and a DAC with the miniDSP 2x4 HD/Flex. (In the latter case, you will need to program a remote control to adjust volume in the miniDSP 2x4 HD.) Now for a balanced output, you can simply connect the + and GND terminals and ignore the -. This does not result in a "half wave" as was stated. Balanced signals work by transmitting 2 versions of the signal (completely out of phase with each other). On a devices input, the out of phase signal is inverted and the signals are now in phase and sum together. This provides common mode rejection (CMR) which is all designed at removing interference and improving SNR primarily to allow greater cable runs and premium quality for sensitive environments. Search common mode rejection for further details. One Rane Note was mentioned earlier, but they have a ton more and some specifically on balanced signals and CMR. When connecting audio equipment, it is important to understand the differences between various types of 'inputs' and 'outputs'. It is especially important to understand differences in electrical specifications. Connecting gear without proper electrical considerations could degrade the system's performance, or even damage the equipment. This article will discuss the necessary considerations of connecting balanced and unbalanced connections (e.g., XLR-to-RCA). A more sophisticated connection may be needed for aggressive common-mode rejection, which may require modifying the equipment. For information about this type of setup, refer to the "Shield Wires" section (5.4) of The Clean Audio Installation Guide.The "proper" way to do this, as you asked, is to use an audio transformer per channel. Pricey though. Strict practice requires the line be left balanced at the output (source) and unbalanced at the input. This is called floating a line. Transformer-balanced outputs must have the cold output tied to the shield conductor when connecting to an unbalanced load. Using an XLR connector, this corresponds to tying pin-3 to pin-1. The hot signal conductor will be connected to pin-2, as usual, and it will carry the audio information. The shield conductor will be connected, as usual, to pin-1. Before discussing the techniques, a few concepts should be explained. The following concepts are true for the large majority of equipment (although exceptions do exist):

If the receiver is made differential, i.e. it only cares about the difference between the two signal conductors (XLR pins 2 and 3 or hot and cold), the "dirty work" is offloaded to shield (or XLR pin1) conductor. As long as those are not connected to the PCB on either transmitter or receiver side (which causes so called Pin1 problem) but rather diverted to the Protective Earth mains conductor, this makes for a hum-free connection.The Flex balanced is balanced in/out. If you'd like to use an unbalanced amplifier (e.g. Powered subwoofer) downstream of the Flex series, here is the recommended TRS to RCA cable to minimize detrimental effect on the audio quality. Pin 1 (sleeve/screen) is always ground. Pin 2 (tip) is always the positive deflection. Pin 3 (ring) is the negative deflection, So if you ever reverse pins 2 and 3 you create an out of phase condition. If 25ft to 30ft is workable for you, then I think RCA. If you need more than that, then perhaps the Sescom adapters is the better choice. The shield conductor is sometimes referred to as 'ground', and it usually connects the cable shield to chassis ground for the purposes of providing a signal shield and eliminating ground loops. The maximum length for an RCA cable is limited by the cable capacitance, the source impedance, and the amount of induced noise. 12 feet is a common upper boundary for pre-made cables but I've built my own cables in the 20-some foot length."
