Need help fast - Unbalanced Preamp to Balanced Amp

With regard to Al's comment immediately above, you could set up the cable so that only pin 2 of the XLR at the preamp end is used. That way the inverting out would not be grounded and possibly damaged.

FWIW in the case of our preamps they are completely tolerant of pin 3 being grounded to pin 1.

hi ken yes they are what you need balanced on one end rca on the other .

ken, i am not expert on balanced cables but i used these cables with an A B INTERNATIONAL AMP.325 RMS.AND A BELLES LINE STAGE PRE AMP.HAD NO PROBLEMS.

Thanks everyone. I think Almarg may have the best advice, and that's to contact Rowland. I just noticed that the owner's manual specifically suggests using a Jensen Model PC-2XR adapter box, but if I could accomplish the same result with a cable, that would reduce the number of connectors, and cost. Should I decide to go the cable route, I will be sure that my friend closely follows the advice of both Almarg & Atmasphere. Thanks guys.

Energizer - Thanks again for your offer, but I think I need to do more research to make sure I don't damage anything with good intentions. You're very generous though, and I sincerely appreciate your help.

You guys are great. Really appreciate learning a thing or two every time I have a question. Thanks guys!
