So, I need to build four identical mono/unbalanced cables (I'm using two sub outputs from my Yamaha amp); one end is RCA type, the other end is TRS. The RCA ends are for my Yamaha amp and subwoofer amp, the TRS for the Beringer. The wiring is Tip (signal) to Tip and Sleeve (ground) to Sleeve. That's it? Kool

I believe that's it, CharlieTuna. You can go into and out of the BFD with TRS or XLR connectors - either way.

Could you explain more about the "tip and sleeve" stuff? I wonder if I have something off in one of my cables (I bought mine).

I wonder if the "balanced/unbalanced" cables are giving me last bit of hum?? It is slight, but noticeable. What is the difference between building balanced cables vs unbalanced cables, given that they have the same connector ends?? Like I said, I bought mine, and I wonder if the cables are the wrong type.
