ricknbokker Posted March 25, 2001 Share Posted March 25, 2001 I'm trying to run a Samson Q5 headphone amp out of a Fostex 4 trac.I want to use TRS cables, because it's a long run, but the monitor outs on the Fostex are RCA. Any help wuold be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderton Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 Not sure if I understand the question correctly, but I assume you want to change the RCA out from unbalanced to balanced, so you can run balanced lines. Correct? If so, you have a couple easy options. Get an unbalanced-to-transformer transformer (if you're not terribly concerned about audio quality, Radio Shack has 'em: otherwise, pay $50 - $80 for a high-end type, like Jensen). You'll probably need an RCA phono to 1/4" mono adapter - not a big deal. You can also build an active stage to deliver an inverted output. This would be a simple project for a do-it-yourself, but only if you're into this kind of thing.

ricknbokker Posted March 27, 2001 Author Share Posted March 27, 2001 Thanx much Mr A! You DID read the question right. The transformer sounds like the quickest fix, so that's the way I'll go. Thanx again for the help. Your forum is THE BEST!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
