Subs with balanced inputs?


Hey there,

I'm considering doing the XLR thing through my system and am just curious, does anyone know of a sub that takes XLR inputs? There don't seem to be many out there (top of the line REL is one, I think) so maybe there is little audible difference in the lower frequency ranges...or something. Anybody?

Thanks,

Jeff

ive never seen one that did.

thinking of that, ive never seen a pre-amp with balanced outputs for a subwoofer.
One of the reasons you don't see very many is the quality of most amps in active subs is about $80. A great many of them come with very short warranty on the sub amp.

The Revel B-15 Performa. It has both balanced and RCA in-
puts. And the quality of the amp is definatly better than
the $80 variety.
Hey guys,

Thanks for the info. I've got a Classe preamp with balanced out, which I really like, and I understand it sounds great mated to a Classe power amp through the XLR. Right now I'm using RCAs and running a Marchand crossover in between the pre and power to keep my ported monitors from exploding (works well and sounds good). I've learned from Marchand that I can add XLR ins/outs to the crossover, so I might do that. But leave unbalanced RCA outs to the sub (gasp)? Basically, I'm just turning around more audiophile madness in my mind...so thanks again for helping me with all that :)

Jeff
