Hello everyone, I have a little doubt about cables.

I have TRS-TRS and TRS-XLR cables, will I have troubles if I plug them to the audio interface for each speaker?

pd: this is what I have

I have this



and this.



Thanks.

 

usually trs to trs is ok... I think speaker cables are TS and may be a better option, but I think it wont blow up your speakers if you run trs trs

 

Simple answer is No​

Complex answer is - The Speakers only need 2 terminals Hot and Shield the Return is not used on standard speakers but is used on some Pro monitors.​

 

You mean "active speakers"?
Always always go balanced shielded instrument cable (meaning XLR and TRS).

If you mean speaker wire, then you can even use a stripped power cord cable/wire.

 

It will get you by, but I not would recommend because it not oxygen free.
I read some where its about 25% of of your budget you should spend on cables

 

You should read the manuals of both the speakers and the interface. They should give you information on what cables to use. In most cases you're on the safe side with unbalanced TS cables for speakers, since almost every audio interface should recognize the unbalanced plug and output an unbalanced signal.

"R" is for "Ring", there is no return channel in audio cables.

Most likely from a cable manufacturer.

 

Active speakers? Both XLR-TRS and TRS-TRS should work in the same way, since both are balanced cables, but as Robot pointed out, some low end active speakers should be better connected with XLR-TRS, and I would always go with XLR-TRS.

Speaking of your usual amp-speaker cables, the best way to get really good cables for free is to buy a good CAT-5 network cable and make the speaker cables from them. They're thick and quite oxygen free. ;)

 

I never said 'R' i said Return.

In telecommunications and professional audio, a balanced line or balanced signal pair is a transmission line consisting of two conductors of the same type, each of which have equal impedances along their lengths and equal impedances to ground and to other circuits.[1] The chief advantage of the balanced line format is good rejection of external noise. Common forms of balanced line are twin-lead, used for radio frequency signals and twisted pair, used for lower frequencies. They are to be contrasted to unbalanced lines, such as coaxial cable, which is designed to have its return conductor connected to ground, or circuits whose return conductor actually is ground. Balanced and unbalanced circuits can be interconnected using a transformer called a balun.

The separate shield of a balanced audio connection also yields a noise rejection advantage over an unbalanced two-conductor arrangement (such as used in typical home stereos) where the shield must also act as the signal return wire. Any noise currents induced into a balanced audio shield will not therefore be directly modulated onto the signal, whereas in a two-conductor system they will be. This also prevents ground loop problems, by separating the shield/chassis from signal ground.

 

thanks a lot for your answers, it's helping a lot
