If I'm running it from the booth to the stage where the projector is can I run a XLR cable from an XLR box off stage and use/make a XLR to RCA adapter? As the XLR out/in box from off stage is wired into the console in the booth or is that just imposable?
And to wire the adapter It should be:
XLR PIN-2 connects to the center contact of the RCA that carries the signal.
XLR PINs-1 and 3 are wired together to carry the Ground via the Chassis.
That should connect to the Surround of the RCA.
Correct?
Salsa, I highly recommend the Whirlwind box. I've been looking into getting one for myself when the funds allow it.
My old theater had a Whirlwind box its was silver though not sure if that makes a difference.. there very handy to have around, I could never remember what it was called till now.
thanks,
and it worked awesomely.
That's because they did not do it rightly. They used a 1/8" TRS to 1/4" TRS. They ran a stereo output into a mono balanced (differential) input. This would cause all program material that's panned to the center to be cancelled out. They needed a 1/8" TRS to dual 1/4" TS cable, to feed the stereo out into two channels of the console. (This is a very common error.)I actually just used my pcDI last night for the first time. It worked well. Someone had used an 1/8" to 1/4" on a line in, and it sounded terrible. So I tossed the pcDI their way, and it worked awesomely.
It looks like the AV Direct has only a mono output while the pcDI is switchable stereo or mono output, that could be a major consideration for many applications. I personally do not like that the AV Direct has a level control on the box, I can see some situations where it might be useful but many others where it is simply another place for someone to mess with the level.also check out ART avdirect cheaper and works great
