complicated.
Sex and the balanced interconnect.
Caught your eye, didn't it.
I am contemplating a new line level crossover, and it comes with XLR balanced outputs. My power amps have XLR balanced inputs, so I thought...why not give balanced a try. The problem is that both the crossover and the amps have female connectors, so that the interconnect needs to be male on both ends (just like an rca interconnect). I find cables offered with a wide variety of connector configurations, but I can't find any XLR cables configured male-to-male, although I could put in a special order and have them made.
Is it unusual to require male-to-male configuration?

If you don't want to spend big...you can order a set at Cobalt Cable. Just click-on the drop down box for male-male. http://www.cobaltcable.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CCOS&Product_Code=xlr&Product_Count=1&Category_Code=AC Dave |
I have the same concerns as Kr4. On all the products I have had, ARC, BAT, Aesthetix, Counerpoint, Wolcott, etc., the inputs on the electronics has always been female and outputs are male. This is an industry statndard. The only thing the industry did not standardize on was the pinout. It sounds like maybe your crossover might support single-ended and balanced inputs but perhaps only single-ended outputs as there are no male XLR connectors on the chassis. So before you do anything, you need to verify this. John |
