tedmanzie Posted January 16, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedmanzie Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
