Stephen, read Laurie=E2=80=99s explanation above. You do indeed convert unba= lanced to balanced with a DI box. Don=E2=80=99t confuse a balanced signal wi= th a stereo one. Both use TRS (3 wires) but stereo is two unbalanced signals= sharing one ground. Balanced is a bipolar audio signal with ground in the m= iddle.

What if all you really want to do is c= onvert an unbalance synth output into a balanced one for going into the 1/4=E2= =80=9D TRS inputs of your console? >>=20 >>=20
