This seems like a very simple question but I haven't found a conclusive answer. I have an audio interface with those Neutrik combination XLR/TRS/TS jacks. I need to have phantom power on and I need to record from an unbalanced line-level source. I will send that unbalanced source into one of those Neutrik jacks with a TS cable.

Hello. Im using TS cables to connect output of fireface to monitors. To sub actually (monitors are connected from sub with XLR). Is that wise?

Also i would need cheap preamp (up to $500) for vocals only, better then one(S) i got with fireface... Any suggestions?

Thank u

I am trying to make an XLR to 1/4" TS cable for my Eventide Eclipse.
I am using it in the effects loop of my guitar amp. The effects loop is unbalanced, but the Eventide unit MUST be connected via the XLR jacks.
I know I need a 3 conductor cable, and I know how to connect the XLR end, but what do I connect the last wire to on the TS end of the 1/4 TS plug?

Yo guys, i've got a real newbie question here.
What is the difference between TRS cables and TS cables?
The reason I ask is because I just realized that I've been using TRS cables coming out of my Roland Synth, straight into me cheapo patchbay, then from there into a pair of TS cables on the other side of the patchbay into whatever pre i'm running the synth to.
