It's this a balanced cable?
Devon H
on Jan 31, 2019
BEST ANSWER: The XLR is a 3 conductor connector; the RCA is a 2 conductor connector. The cable is wired as follows: XLR pins 1 and 3 are wired to the RCA outer conductor; XLR pin2 is wired to the RCA center pin. The wire is 3 conductor, and the pin 1-pin 2 junction is made at the RCA connector. Thus, the cable assy is not balanced, but the ground is carried through which is best unless your signal into the RCA connector is truly balanced. This might be the case with a phono cartridge (it is with mine). In which case I suggest buying an XLR male - XLR male cable that is twice as long as the cable you want, cut it in half, and wire an RCA male to pins 2 and 3 of each XLR, then leave the XLR pin 1 (ground) unconnected to the RCA. Note: if you are making 2 cables for stereo use, make sure you wire the same XLR pin to the RCA center pin on both cables or your cables will be out of phase. Good luck.

No. RCA is Unbalanced,
However, 1 side of the link is 'balanced' which means the sheath goes to ground.
the RCA does not have a ground to go to. So that makes that side Unbalanced.
This cable is however still incorrectly wired, as it connects the sheath to the ring on the RCA side, and you should NOT have that connected. I modify these to be correctly wired.

No, because the RCA connection is by definition unbalanced (only two wires, tip and sleeve) versus XLR's 3 wires (the 3 pins). This cable is for connecting an RCA output to a Neutrik combo XLR 1/4" input that can handle both balanced and unbalanced signals.

An XLR to RCA cable converts a balanced audio signal into an unbalanced signal. This is good for sending audio signals from an XLR source to an RCA input, or vice versa. Regardless of direction, the result will be an unbalanced signal.

Yes and no. The XLR connector is balanced by design, but an RCA connector is not. If you need a balanced line, you must use XLR for the entire run, but if you must interface to RCA, your only choice is unbalanced.

in order for a connection to be balanced it must have three conductors. Positive, negative, and ground. This cable converts an XLR balanced signal to a RCA unbalanced signal.

Best XLR cable out there...
They are the best due to the fact they use 16 AWG cable vs the competition that uses 24 and 22 AWG. They are also some of the least expensive out there of such good quality and the assortment of lengths to fit most any situation. The cables are very soft and VERY flexible. My audio equipment is dead silent with these, another sign of the quality of these cables. I cannot ask for much more, they do the job and do it well at a very good price point.

It's Great!
Great cable! Works as intended. RCA end runs from my Mono-Mixer output to my Personal Monitor Amp XLR Input, so I can use the XLR Thru for my DI output. Nice sturdy cable, great quality sound.

Excelente Cable
La relación calidad - precio de este producto es fantástica, los terminales son robustos, con buenos acabados y ajuste perfecto. El cable es extremadamente flexible, lo que lo hace manejable y fácil de instalar, internamente parece estar bien configurado y aislado, ya que no escucho zumbidos o ruidos raros.
Mi queja radica en el método de envío ya que para Colombia solo se puede elegir uno, el cual es costoso y lento, DHL retuvo el paquete y solo después de varias reclamaciones por vía telefónica lo entregaron 9 días más tarde.
En cuanto a la experiencia de compra, esta fue rápida y sin complicaciones.

Solidly built cable
Connectors and cable exude heft and durability. The cable has good flexibility, and feels like it will put up with real world use well.
