Using Monitor w/XLR inputs and RCA out preamp

174.131.165.75

Hi,

I'm considering getting some powered monitors:Dynaudio BM6A 2, and I'd like to use them with my stereo preamps that only have RCA outputs. Can I do this, and if so, will I lose a lot?

Thanks.

I run crown amps with an alesis pre, same situation, zero problems, they are easily made too if you want to save a few dollars

Sure you can do that just buy a cable with xlr on one end and rca on the other.

  In principle that is correct but remember that an xlr input likes to see a signal 11.79dB higher than the nominal output of a device with rca connectors.
  
  That said most pres are perfectly capable of delivering that.
