I have unbalanced outputs, e.g. RCA, on my equipment so how do I connect them?

Use the wiring conventions shown below. The 2-conductor method is preferred over the 1-conductor method as it gives increased noise immunity and less signal distortion. It is important that all of the connections are made otherwise there could be a loss of input signal level (e.g. XLR pin 3 left floating) or induced hum (e.g. chassis ground and audio ground connected together) due to ground loops. Note: do not connect the XLR chassis to XLR pin 1, as this will compromise the RF immunity of the loudspeaker's electronics.

RCA to XLR
