PS1 Powerstand Connections: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

You could have difficulty if you are running long lines (and losing signal or picking up noise). If you are, consider using shorter cable runs, or running an balanced line. To do this you can use a short unbalanced cable to a DI (to convert from unbalanced to balanced) and run from there: XLR to XLR (balanced to balanced) to the Bose System.

=== ¼ Inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve (balanced) to ¼ Inch Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced) ===

=== Balanced to Unbalanced ===

The {{PS1}} Channels 1 and 2 ¼ inch inputs are unbalanced. There are many kinds of cables that will '''work''' but no connection that uses the ¼ input will be balanced because the internal connection is unbalanced.

This ~~doesn't do much for you~~.

This should work, but likely no better than a simple ¼ Inch Tip-Sleeve to Tip-Sleeve cable. This is because the ¼ Inch input on the Bose System is Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced) anyway.

This should work, but it is unlikely to provide a significant benefit over a straight XLR to XLR cable. This is because the ¼ Inch input on the Bose System is Tip-Sleeve (unbalanced) anyway.
