Hi,

 

I am trying to use two aux out feeds on the Behringer X32 to feed a pair of monitors that are powered from a cheaper amp that only has unbalanced jack inputs. As I am running the cable from the mixer at the back over an analogue snake, and in the past have experienced some issues with a simple cable off amazon that converts the balanced XLR line to an unbalanced jack, I am wondering if there is a better way of converting the balanced feed to the unbalanced jacks if that makes sense. I have tried to research this but can't really find an answer and don't really even know if there is a solution to this. The closest I can find is from canford and is linked below but costs about £107 and that is out of my budget at the moment especially given it might not be what I need. I am wondering if anyone can advise me on a solution or simply tell me that there isn't one.

I know this might not be very clear so please feel free to ask any questions

 

 

Thanks a lot

Scroll down to example 6 of THIS NOTE. The other cheap option is a transformer balancing box similar to a passive DI used backward.

That link looks like it might be a massive help, I can probably make a couple of cables with the leads I already have!

Thank you

You don't mention specifically the problems you've encountered in the past, but if you need to keep the lines to the stage balanced, then a dual transformer box at the stage end would almost certainly help.

 

I have used these and would unhesitatingly recommend the companies products;

and have had good reports about these;

I think someone may have used one of the ART DTI boxes before in a similar situation at a gig I worked on, might be worth a try

Thank you
