Cable query - HELP!

anonymous 1 June 2005

hi all.

i have got a set of MSP5's - each has 2 line sockets on the back, 1 XLR (female) and 1 standard Jack (guitar cable size)

Now, my audio interface only has Jack outputs for the monitors...

-i went and bought the wrong cables..I got Jack to (female) XLR! (idiot I know)

my question is - If I use Lynx Male XLR adapters (effectively switching my female XLR connections for male ones) will I lose signal or sound quality in a dramatic way?

Thanks for any help in advance - i am closely monitoring this post! :D

Those standard "jacks" are just called 1/4" TRS. If, in fact, they are balanced. A guitar cable is TS, which is unbalanced.

Not a big deal to use gender benders, but it would be even better to return the cable and buy the correct one I suppose.

that's cool, thanks. 1/4 TRS - yes I know but standard Jacks ar

thanks.

1/4 TRS - yes I know but standard Jacks are called so many things these days i prefer to clarify.

-i'm not returning the cables because I can't really be bothered to post them to scotland.

thanks again
