[QUOTE="Simon Eves, post: 106254, member: 4463"] X32 XLR Output Electrical Question Apologies if this has already been covered, but I have a question about the X32 XLR outputs. I will soon be in need of driving the individual front aux inputs on an Alesis MultiMix 6 Cue headphone amp from six bus outputs on the X32, but those inputs are apparently 1/4" TRS stereo unbalanced. I only need mono, so I'm guessing I just need XLRF to 1/4" TS unbalanced mono (which would then hit both inputs and give me dual-mono), but I have read that when connecting some types of balanced output to an unbalanced input you need to leave Pin 3 of the XLR end floating, and with other types you need to tie it to ground. Does anyone know the X32's preference? I don't want to blow anything up... :( Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
