[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 2200189, member: 560358"] [B]How would you wire up a XLR to RCA cable for your xover??? [/B] Using Belden 8760 twisted pair. RCA Output to XLR Input {Analog preamp out to Behringer XLR input} XLR Pin 1 = Shield ground => connect to XLR pin 3 XLR Pin 2 = Positive balanced signal => one center conductor to RCA hot XLR Pin 3 = Negative balanced signal {now ground} = one center conductor and drain wire to RCA gnd. XLR Output to RCA with -6dB output gain {Behringer output to Adcom RCA input} XLR Pin 1 = Shield ground =>one center conductor and drain wire to RCA gnd. XLR Pin 2 = Positive balanced signal => one center conductor to RCA hot XLR Pin 3 = Negative balanced signal {now ground} = don't connect ** I installed the switch so I can toggle between -6dB and 'normal'. XLR to XLR {Behringer output to QSC input} XLR to XLR XLR Pin 1 = Shield ground => drain wire XLR Pin 2 = Positive balanced signal => one center conductor XLR Pin 3 = Negative balanced signal = one center conductor ** I can't remember, but I don't think I made directional cables for XLR to XLR. I hear no noise. I don't expect big problems with short cable runs. [B]also is there one cable that's good for balanced and unbalanced usage...[/B] All those cables {non coax} will work for analog audio, balanced and un-balanced, unless you have to run hundreds of feet per cable then it's better to 'do the math' and figure out the details. The big difference is awg wire, cable thickness, foil or braided shielding, and jacket material. I'm probably going to use 8760 again mainly because it fit the Dayton RCA's with Techflex and I like the beefy 18 awg wire for durability. It's nice to have a 0.222" cable diameter vs. one that is 1/2 the size, gives the illusion of uber cable due to it's size. [/QUOTE]
