rca to xlr - best way?

connecting a sub out from my receiver to a sub amp. receiver output is rca, but the inputs on the sub amp are xlr. what's the best way to convert? adapter? a cable? does anyone manufacture cables that convert rca to xlr and vice versa? really could use some advice, as well as an explanation as to the benefits of xlr connectors. thanks

Deepblue has a point. Balance is just that; not the same as unbalanced. Just using an adapter may cause problems and even degrade sound some. Good Luck

balanced lines *can* be quieter in long runs. if it's not a problem for you, neutrik makes xlr-rca adaptors in any configuration ya want - m-m, m-f, f-m, f-f, etc. i got 'em at my local pro-music store for $6.50 each. doug
