About this deal

There is an important point here though. XLR connections often carry a higher voltage signal then RCA connections, up to 4 volts against typically the 2 volts on an RCA connection. So if for instance you were connecting a CD player with XLR connection to an amplifier with RCA connection, you may well find that the extra signal strength will overdrive the RCA input on the amplifier. The problem being that this will give you very little control over the volume and can lead to harsh and fatiguing sound. RCA cables are also more versatile, in that they can handle video transmission too, and are found on a wider range of consumer electronic devices. You’ll find it particularly difficult to hook up an old games console to your TV using XLR cables alone, even if technically the XLR cable would be a higher quality cable to use. RCA cables, on the other hand, are commonly supported on a wide range of devices, making them a far better choice – even if more modern alternatives like HDMI and DisplayPort are more capable and versatile again.

Increased Detail: You may notice enhanced details and nuances in the music, allowing you to perceive subtle elements that were previously hidden.

Before we dive into the methods for converting RCA to XLR signals, it’s important to understand the difference between balanced and unbalanced cables. Simple really a child could tell you the difference.A child will also believe anything you tell them.

They deliver a step-up in quality from the cheaper C-ine mentioned above, but they do cost more and their talents will be heard more obviously in systems that are at mid-level price and above.

In the final analysis always try before you buy and if you are happy with something (Whether it actually makes a difference of not) and you can afford it, then go for it, as happiness cannot be measured. I'm assuming that the stereo source will be positioned near the mixer. If that's not the case then Edwin van Mierlo's recommendation of using an active device with a balanced output is applicable. A balanced connection, due to it's greater noise immunity and stronger signal in the receiving end, is highly advisable for any distance greater than 10 meters. You could also speak to a dealer to see if they've tried different cables during demos and have found any that work particularly well with your amplifier. This offering is 6ft long but it is offered in a variety of sizes, ranging from 1.5ft to an impressive 50ft. However, it should be noted that the 50ft option may suffer from signal quality reduction due to the length of the cable. Available in a range of lengths, XLR cables are also convertible and adaptable, leading to XLR to TRS converters, and XLR to RCA cables, among others.
