Xlr to rca
ryedady
You need this sort of thing https://www.jaycar.com.au/3-pin-xlr-type-to-rca-adaptor/p/PA3800 or https://www.jaycar.com.au/3-pin-xlr-type-to-rca-adaptors/p/PA3802 Cheers George |
Make sure your polarity is correct. XLR cables are absolutely the way to go, under normal circumstances, but when you go from a 2 conductor/with ground to a 2 conductor including ground, your polarity may be at risk. As Georgehifi said, the adaptor will work, or you can buy an XLR cable, with an RCA plug on the other end. Or just go with an XLR to phone jack cable. I think i'm understanding what your asking(?) Whichever gender you need. Whichever works best for you. |
Its two large mono 1/4" pro audio plugs to two rca plugs https://www.parts-express.com/1-4-mono-phone-plug--090-300 |
@ryedady Are you trying to run cables from the rca outputs of your Luxman/McCormack to the 1/4" inputs of the bgm? If so, there is probably an impedance or signal level mismatch. 1/4" sockets are usually intended for microphone or electric instrument connections. Such sockets are fairly sensitive because the intended instruments emit a weak signal (about 50 millivolts). Line level RCA outputs from stereo pre amps usually output a considerably higher voltage. With the subwoofer disconnected, have you tried to play any source material through the bmg amp? |
Actually the input gain on bgm amp is much lower then standard, everything works fine until I plug in something else to the other set of pre outs, it did the same thing on my luxman. Its either a ground loop or a polarity thing. I will just have to bite the bullet and re terminate some cables to eliminate if that doesn't work I have no idea how to eliminate a ground loop from the rca jacks, maybe solder onto the negative pole of one set and run it to the earth ground of electrical socket |

Please take a look at this reference: http://www.rane.com/note110.html I had a ground loop problem with my pro audio stereo line mixer until I figured out that pro audio equipment is typically wired as "floating ground". This means that certain cables need to have the ground/shield disconnected, especially if you are going between 1/4" TRS and RCA connectors. |
Buy a wireless transmitter/receiver kit for your subwoofer. They work well and aren't very expensive. Here are a couple that might work for you. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/rocketfish-wireless-subwoofer-transmitter-receiver-kit-black/6965266.p?... https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Transmitter-Receiver-Subwoofers-Surround/dp/B00SJ49ZJQ |
