My tube amp only takes analogy input and this only has XLR. Can i just use a XLR to RCA cable or will that degrade and introduce noise?

Hi - I also have RCA inputs and found these Procab adapters that seem to be excellent quality and used with good quality cables have not made any noticeable difference. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Procab-Classic-RCA-Female-to-XLR-Male-Adapter-/121002301872 They also make these which are excellent value. http://www.bax-shop.nl/xlr-rca/procab-cab701-2x-xlr-male-2x-rca-male-3.00-meter/product-details.html

Yes, you may use XLR to RCA adapters as long as you are aware the interface will no longer have the advantages of balanced line transmission. Most probably you will never know the difference.

You can use XLR to RCA cables. XLR has balanced configuration which is advantageous when long cable setups, like 100 feets, are required. Since typical home setups have short cables, there is no noise pickup problems. There will be no sound degradation.

I use a Bellari VP 130 Tube Phono Preamp...but used a different tube than the one that came with the amp. Sounds great.

Inputs from RCA inputs are already in analog form. No need for analog conversion.

No you just need an RCA cable that is able to hook up to an auxiliary out/input

I use a tube pre amp and it sounds great. Without the tube pre amp it is trebly and has no warmth. I run a bass guitar through it at the same time and it works great at small venues.

No. This amplifier only has a quarter-inch (1/4") input. You'd need to get an XLR to 1/4" adapter first, and even then I'm not sure it would work.

No, you will need to supply your own cable to connect to your amp or receiver, either coaxial or toslink.

There is NO USB input on this amplifier. There are 2 analog RCA inputs. You would need a separate DAC unit to go between this and your source component.

Are you trying to use this as an input to the Sub, or an output from the sub to the PA? I am using a RCA to 3.5 mm cable as input from another source to the sub, and then the sub's low level output to monitors, and that works fine. All of those are low level, though. If you are inputting TO the sub from the PA, i would think it would have to be non amplified signal or damage could occur. I'm not sure if the stereo link feature on that PA is low level or not.

Brandon, Good news and bad news. The ART Tube mp project is a great preamp and can warm tones greatly! On to the other side and to answer your question. You will need an audio interface. I use and recommend a Focusrite Scarlett series which feature XLR and 1/4 inch inputs to a USB output. I personally use a 2i2 model which features 2 inputs to USB and sells for $150 on Amazon. If you only need 1 channel then the Focusrite solo @ $99 will work for you. Read reviews and search youtube and I am sure you will find this the way to go. Sorry to double or triple your expenses, but it has worked fantastic for me with instruments or mics into a DAW computer based system. Hope this helps..... Brandon, Good news and bad news.

you will need xlr cables or you can also use rca cables. I use xlr cables because I go to powered subwoofers and speakers.

this is a portable pro grade tube preamp. it has xlr (3 prongs in a steel shell) and trs inputs and xlr, trs output connectors. trs is a 1/4" stereo plug like you would see on a pair of headphones. you can buy a trs/6.5mm 1/8" adapter at radio shack or perhaps here at amazon. and then get to rca with another adapter. it might be a tad noisy but it should work just fine.

I bought this a few months ago but have so far not been able to connect as it has no RCA connections. Should get XLR cables soon, so if you are not in a hurry, I can give you some feed back shortly (next 2 weeks)

You need something that makes the actual sound, and something to connect this item to your sound producer. There are several ways to do this. The standard way is to get some sort of amplifier, and connect this to that with a 1/4" instrument cable. If you don't want to buy an amp, and you have a stereo that has RCA inputs (the red & white cables), you could connect this to that stereo with a 1/4" to RCA audio cable.

i actually use another rca line input and use the pre amp from my turntable with an in line booster (between turntable and 5000) and it works much better than the phono input on the 5000. i was getting a humming noise using phono input. your setup might be different though. either way my vinyl sounds awesome now!

Unless you have an audio card that can handle it, you need to get a TRS/XLR cable or converter and run it through an audio interface. There has to be something before the computer that will turn the electric signal from the pre amp into data the computer can use to recreate the signal.

if the 1/4" and xlr inputs are parallel you should be able to use the xlr in from your source and then use the 1/4" input as a thru-put. That's how it works on a similar Crown xls amp and I'd bet that this is the same. Just check the owners manual... probably available online
