Benefit from using XLR connections on 5235 X-over?
My power amp recently fried, so I just got a new Proceed Amp-2 from e-bay, this has the choice of XLR and RCA connections.
Has anyone compared connecting a 5235 to their bass amps with both type of connectors? If I remember well other discussions here, the 5235 is not truly balanced, so I was wondering if there was any sonic benefit (or other) going to XLR connectors??
THanks,
Yes that standard for XLR pin assignments has changed.
US was different from Europe. Both now seem to be Pin 1 is ground, pin 2 is +signal or hot, pin3 is -signal. This is for a balanced connection.
If you need to put a single ended/unbalanced into a balanced XLR, Pin 3 should also be grounded.
Europe was pin3+ or hot and pin2 was -signal, pin 1 has all wise been ground.
