Signal Direction XLR to RCA? Which way?


I was looking at XLR to RCA adapters on Music Direct and it seems like they were very careful to point out that a particular adapter was for "output" and another for "input." Does it matter which way the signal is going through an adapter? How about interconnects? Should the signal always go from male side to female? Does it matter if you are using XLR versus RCA?

Forgive me if the answer is obvious, but I am a total newbie.

Hi Rickschell,

On equipment, XLR input sockets are always female. Outputs are male. Hope this answers your question.
