The whole perception with Balanced compared to Non-Balanced is that the total over response in signal should increase by 6bd if you using everything Balanced through your whole systen but on top of that it also decreases the noise by 6db. All professional studios use full balance including speakers for that matter. When it comes to your amp whether its a tube or solid state, the perception of sound will be dictated primaraly of your pre-amp and power amp and how much output it is willing to take and how stable the load is. Nordost and Siltech I use all the time to test the differences between them with certain amps and pre-amps, sonically with certain balance cables there is more finer detail, though everybodys hearing is different so you have to hear it in a controlled environment which I do in where I work.
Balanced vs Non-Balanced XLR?
Hi All,
need some advice here. I am looking for an int amp with XLR input, I read that int amp with XLR input could be of true balance design or of not true balanced design.
I got a reply from a manufacturer on their amp design:
The balanced input is true balanced, in so far as the electronics inside the amp takes the balanced signal and converts it electronically to a single ended signal for amplification purposes in the correct manner. All our amplifiers are 'traditional' single ended designs, not fully balanced designs, so the balanced signal inputs and outputs are all electronically modified to suit the balanced cable and signal requirements.
=============================================
what does it means, in term of performance, to me as an end-user if i am using the XLR input of the amp? does it mean there will be no difference between XLR and RCA inputs for the amp?
Thank in advance
