[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1262203, member: 560358"] To test one midrange and one tweeter keeping synergy, you should do this; [B]Input[/B] Source left channel {RCA} -> DCX input [RCA male to XLR male]. [B]Output[/B] DCX output #3 -> XLR female to RCA male -> amplifier channel right [tweeter] DCX output #2 -> XLR female to RCA male -> amplifier channel left [midrange] If you have a 3rd amp channel and want to test a woofer; DCX output #1 -> XLR female to RCA male -> amplifier channel 3rd [woofer] Default configuration on the DCX is; Output 1 - woofer Output 2 - midrange Output 3 - tweeter Output 4 - woofer Output 5 - midrange Output 6 - tweeter You can change this. XLR to RCA cables; [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=NavBar&A=search&Q=&ci=4201"]http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=NavBar&A=search&Q=&ci=4201[/URL] [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=NavBar&A=FetchChildren&Q=&ci=1667"]http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=NavBar&A=FetchChildren&Q=&ci=1667[/URL] I'm sure if you look hard you can find a better deal. [B].if possible, i would like to buy some XLR --> RCA cables and maybe mod them myself? [/B] You can use a regular cable for now and if you have too much gain, DIY a cable later. Mod a cable? If they connect that pin 1 to 3 at the connector side you have to get in there to disconnect it, will this be easy to do or just make a cable? DIY cables is simple; See pics; [URL="http://home.pacbell.net/lordpk/cables/"]http://home.pacbell.net/lordpk/cables/[/URL] View pics in number sequence for step by step instruction; [URL="http://home.pacbell.net/lordpk/cables/"]http://home.pacbell.net/lordpk/cables/[/URL]Belden_8760_Cable/ Read the DIY cable guide I wrote on that CAF thread. You can get some good Belden 8760 cable cheap. [/QUOTE]
