Can I use balanced output to unbalanced input?
A general rule of thumb for tying an electronically balanced output to an unbalanced input is to leave the (-) polarity pin floating. This will work best for both the DA38 and the SV3800. Tying the (-) to ground on some designs can cause the output to distort at lower levels or, in some cases, not work at all.
Can I connect balanced to unbalanced?
When connecting an active-balanced output to an unbalanced load, it is necessary to leave the cold output (pin-3) floating. Using an XLR connector, pin-3 should not be connected to anything. If a cable is used with pin-3 tied to pin-1 (shield), the output amplifier could be damaged.
What is used to convert from unbalanced to balanced?
So, the traditional way to convert an unbalanced signal to a balanced signal is to run it into a D.I. box. ... They work just great but while they balance the signal, they also knock down the level of the signal to a few millivolts which means that you have no option other than to run the other end into a mic.
What is balanced and unbalanced output input?
Balanced audio uses three conductors to carry the audio signal. Two of the conductors carry negative and positive signals (audio is an AC signal), and the third is used for grounding. With an unbalanced signal, there are only two conductors. One carries positive, the carries negative and is also used for ground.
