tedmanzie Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Can anyone more electrically minded than me please help?! I want to have the stereo output from my laptop go to a [b]single[/b] active Genelec speaker. I read that you need to do the mono summing in a certain way, not just use a reversed 'y' lead. So I was thinking of using this Radial Engineering SB5 that is designed to mono-sum a laptop signal and output a signal through the XLR so it can be plugged into a mixing desk. http://www.radialeng.com/stagebugsb5.php But I don't want to go into a mixing desk, I want to put it into the XLR input of the Genelec 8020. Is the SB5 still good for this? I don't know if a mixing desk requires a different signal to an active speaker. Thanks! Ted Quote
tedmanzie Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 Solved this... Seems like either of these is a better solution as they output at line level, not mic level: http://whirlwindusa.com/catalog/black-boxes-effects-and-dis/transformers-isolation-devices/isopod http://whirlwindusa.com/catalog/black-boxes-effects-and-dis/transformers-isolation-devices/isopod2-isopod2hw Quote
