how to connect a single ended RCA output to the balanced XLR input
If you are connecting to equipment with single ended RCA outputs and you would like to use
the balanced XLR input for best ground loop suppression, then use a suitably manufactured
RCA/XLR adaptor cable, such as our RCA-XLR F3 10-ANA interconnect. This connection is
recommended by TAG McLaren. More details to the cable are found in the Appendix.
The signal connection of the RCA input and the XLR are connected internally.
Do not connect both connections at the same time as this might damage your
equipment!

When the RCA input is used the XLR shorting link, fitted when you
receive the 250MR from the factory, must be inserted between pin 1
and pin 3 of the XLR input connector. This is necessary to obtain the
correct gain and to reduce the noise pickup.
If you connect an RCA output of your av processor or preamplifier
with the RCA line input of the 250MR then you should use a hi-
quality, well screened RCA-RCA audio cable, such as our RCA/RCA
F3-10-ANA interconnect.
using the balanced input (XLR)
In order to use the XLR connection you need to remove the XLR shorting plug, if connected.
Please store the shorting plug safely for later use.
If your are connecting to equipment with balanced outputs then use a high quality XLR-XLR
cable, such as our XLR/XLR F3-10-ANA interconnect.
