Hi all!
I recently bought an Audio Research LS7 with only one pair of single ended outputs. My previous preamp (Luxman C-3) had both single ended and balanced XLR outputs. Using my old preamp I had the single ended outputs connected to the amp driving my mid's and high's and the balanced output connected to a JBL M552 for my subs. Now I've got a couple of questions:
How do I connect the wires in the balanced cable to a RCA -contact to be able to connect the JBL M552 to the Audio Research?
I know it will no longer be a balanced signal, but the M552 shouldn't mind, or?
I suppose number one (shield) goes to earth on the RCA, but what about two and three, should I use only one of them?
What can be expected in signal strength? Will there be any loss/gain?
If I feed the crossover an unbalanced signal, should I modify the cables going from the crossover to the sub-amp in the same way as well?
Thank You for any info on this!
By the way: I love the Audio Research, tubes rules!!!
Best regards: Jakob
