XLR/TRS to RCA? Adapters or cables?


Hi there,

I'm performing some live guitar and vocals at a upcoming wedding, and I'm going to be running them through my laptop and audio interface.

I'll be plugging into the DJ's little mixer (he told me he has a couple of RCA inputs spare).

My audio interface outputs are 1/4" TRS (balanced) and I have two TRS to XLR cables (which I use to connect my interface to my studio monitors at home).

So in order to connect my interface to his desk, should I just get a couple of XLR to RCA adapters to put on the XLR ends of my cables? Or is it best to get a couple of new cables (1/4" TRS to RCA)?

Or is there a better way to do this?

Many thanks in advance!

I go with Al on this. If you have a chance to test the TRS to RCA cables then this is your best choice but you never know what kind of ground noise you're dealing with until you're there. The Jensen transformers are great and will deal with any kind of ground noise thrown at them but the transformers do have a sound of their own.
