So last night I finally got my 4345s up in the living room. I refoamed the 2122Hs and 2245Hs with Rick Cobb surrounds. All is well. To start out, I want to run my single JBL 6260 on the 2245s, and then my McIntosh 7270 on the top. (I plan on finding another 6260 so I can run one on each 2245). I think that can be a good starting point to build on.
However, I found last night that the connections on the 5234A external crossover are not simply RCA in, RCA out. There are two options, screw terminals or TRS plugs (phone plugs). I also read that the INPUT (Preamp to Crossover) should be a balanced connection, and then the OUTPUT (Crossovers to PowerAmps) should be unbalanced.
My thought is I should make some short jumpers ~6" that are male TRS plugs (phone plugs) to female RCA jacks. Is that the right idea? I would also need to take care to make sure I wire the connector correctly since this would need to be a balanced connection.
Note, all my cable runs in my system are fairly short (Speaker cable <10', interconnects <6')
What do you think?
Thank you
Greg
