Infinity IRS BETA Servo with Balanced Pre/Amps


I am trying to connect a pair of IRS Beta with 2 Classe Omega Stereo and ML 32 Pre on the Balanced circuit. The servo however, has only RCA connectors. The result, if I connect the panels in XLR and the Lows in RCA, is difference in dynamics, forcing me to raise the servo volume to higher than normal levels and the sound is not integrated. The RCA option is my last choice, as the system underperforms. All cables are the same and for RCA are Nordost SPM or Symphonic Line and NBS for XLR

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Even if you had balanced ability with the servo box the woofers will never quite integrate. This due to the servo cables and the lead time of the accelerometers reporting back to the servo box.

The level on the servo box is there to allow you to match level with the high side amp(s). It really shouldn't be a problem.

There was a guy in Indiana some years back that made a balanced tube xover/servo box for the Betas, but he is long gone.

I fought with woofer matching with Betas for a number of years, I finally sold 'em off and haven't looked back.

I wish I could be more help to you.

Best,
