Why do you need to convert an unbalanced signal from a synth to a balanced one before it gets to the console? -S On 5 June 2018 at 15:34, Quincas Moreira <xxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> wrote: > Stephen, read Laurie=E2=80=99s explanation above. You do indeed convert u= nbalanced to balanced with a DI box. Don=E2=80=99t confuse a balanced signa= l with a stereo one. Both use TRS (3 wires) but stereo is two unbalanced si= gnals sharing one ground. Balanced is a bipolar audio signal with ground in= the middle. > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Jun 5, 2018, at 09:21, skkatter <xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> wrote: >> >> Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the audio output of your synth is >> unbalanced then the signal will stay unbalanced despite using balanced >> cables.
