That is enough to fry whatever brain you got left.Mine is already gone. Not because of the heat. Spectrasonics did it.

 

i dont care let them watch

 

I mentioned it because it's the unbalanced cables that reinforce the antenna-like performance. The speakers themselves will also pick up RF interference if you place a noise source too close to them.

They don't. They use TRS jacks which are balanced. But by plugging a regular guitar-like cable you remove all the noise protection.

 

i have both xlr and ts jack in on krk speakers..

--------------------

ok...

you mean TS/TS or XLR/TS...?

and not having pre made comments for automated answering on endless repeating same newb questions...all answered in pre thread..heh heh..

 

I'm almost sure you have a TRS jack, not TS jack. They look the same from the outside. With regular guitar/instrument cable of course I mean TS/TS. XLR/TS was a nasty hack they used ages ago to plug instruments into mixers with just XLR inputs, or God forbid, the reverse - to plug mics into TS jacks and crank the gain all the way up even though the preamps were definitely not designed to work as mic preamps with so much gain.

Also yes, I meant the connection from your interface to the speakers. You should use XLR or TRS. The R part is very important for having less issues with noise.

 

Just to add the TRS can be identified by the number of rings, 1 for unbalanced and 2 for TRS balanced cable

 

I guess i have the good ones then xlr to trs
printed on the cable (low noise mic) does that matter?
i orderd them because they where the cheapest

 

...xlr is only in front of interfaces in most cases and is not used for speakers...the master or monitor outs on interface are most of the time ts/tsr jack in/outs
so xlr/xlr for interface to speaker is not easy...

ok TS is unbalanced and TRS is ballanced ...
its called mono jack and stereo jack in german..
this is a stereo jack obviously..

i always thought i got to use mono jack cable (a guitar cabel ) on speakers....but no , this way we got no noise protection

germans !
is unsymetrisch = unballanced ? und symetrisch is ballanced ?

 

Forget all of that balanced. How about fully balanced?

 

This usually refers to servo balancing vs actual balancing. The first one is done with opamps, the second on is done with transformers. Both do the same job pretty much equally.

 

Wow!! https://audiosex.pro/threads/fully-balanced-not-the-same-as-balanced.43515/

 

Cool. This is redundant, you're not going to get any more quality from it (none of the legendary mixing consoles, nor mastering equalizers are done like that). Nobody in the audio business does that except manufactures that sell audiophile wankery. Not to mention you're never going to perfectly match regular and inverted channels together. It's already hard enough with stereo units. Besides, all of these are housed in metal enclosures to reduce external interference. That's what balanced cables are for. Reducing interference. The metal box takes care of that, but the weak link was the cables. We added cables that transmit the sound safely from one metal box to another metal box. Inside the metal box it's pretty much safe.

3dB of dynamic range means literally nothing. We have 120dB and more of dynamic range in digital. You're not able to produce (sing, play) such drastic differences in volume anyway. You don't need it. You end up putting a limiter at the end of your music to reduce your dynamic range even more, otherwise people wouldn't be able to hear the verse of your song in their cars. If we didn't have enough dynamic range, you'd be complaining about constant hiss coming from your CD player or when playing MP3s. Do you? The stuff we have now is what people dreamt of 10 years ago. We are already over the limits of what our ears can detect. CD quality is already over what our ears can hear. Do you think DVD sounds better than CD? It's technically higher quality.

 

This is as vague as a question can be but an interesting one. If would lead to so much discussion that we are gioing to get kicked out of this thread for veering off topic. Since your question is vague , I will reply with a vague answer. I think DVD's sound better. However, a CD could sound better. And sometimes both sound equally good or bad. You should open a thread with this very same question.
