Need help with a hooking up a sub.


Hi All,

I've already done a search, but I can't find the answer to my problem. I want to integrate a 2 channel system to my HT setup. My rooms has 3 subs that have been optimized with a Behringer external crossover/equalizer. The DAC/preamp that I'm looking at getting has 2 balanced and 2 RCA outputs, both putting out signal simultaneously.
I plan to run the balanced channels out to a switcher. The question is how to hook up the 2-channel to the Behringer, which only has balanced inputs.
I've read opinions all the way around. One channel RCA to XLR connector? 2 channel RCA to one XLR? Both channels RCA to XLR and let the Behringer sum the channels up? I prefer not to do that, since then I'd have to switch inputs all the time on the Behringer.
First word problems, I know.

Thanks,
David

Not knowing what your current system looks like, I'm not sure if this is an option, but consider getting a two channel preamp with home theater bypass.
Theta Casablanca 4 with cable and Apple TV inputs. Lumagen Radiance Pro is used as an HDMI switcher. Projector is a JVC 4500 laser.
The front amps are Theta Prometheus and surrounds are Theta digital dreadnaught.
Front 3 speakers are MBL 101E’s and surrounds are MBL 111E’s.
3 Seaton F18 submersives, equalized through a Behringer 2496 Prodrive.
i plan on listening to a Lumin T2 and a Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ soon. It’s the music server/DAC/preamp that I’m trying to run through my front amps and integrate with the subs. I’m going to get an remote controlled XLR switcher for the front amp inputs.
