DizRotus Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 My Pono player, "Wiener" TPA3118 chip amp and iNuke NU1000DSP have the ability to utilize balanced mode. I'm using the iNuke as a sub amp. The XLR connectors have 3 pins for each channel. I assume (always dangerous) one is +, one is - and the third is shield. If the Behringer manual explains this, I can't find it. What little I know of balanced is that it does not, indeed cannot, have a common ground between channels. I'm looking for input from those with actual experience with XLR balanced in general and iNuke in particular. Thank you. p5_manual...pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Public thank you to Michael Colter who called my mobile. As expected, he knows his way around XLR connectors and balanced connections. I'm comfortable now that I can hook this up without electing a Pope.

It's always nice learning something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Derrick, Michael C explained the 3 pin layout of an XLR male connector. He uses balanced for relatively long microphone runs. He candidly questioned, in my situation, whether going balanced is worth the effort, but applauded the DIY goal to go for the gold. I wouldn't bother if the Pono., Wiener & iNuke didn't permit it.
