RCA to XLR - Cable adapter?


I've got some of the one piece metal change over adapter that go from RCA to XLR in, and out's.

None are male RCA however and that's what the need is now.

To place a bit less strain (as RCA jacks have less mass), I'm thinking to get adapters that have quite a short male RCA cable on the RCA end with the male balanced out end opposite it. Male RCA to male XLR. Short cable on the RCA end.

Anyone ever see RCA - XLR adapter/cable with short cables on the RCA side?

Where or who makes 'em?

My new pre is all SE... the amp is only XLR. and yes, I got the thing about using one of my preexisting adapters on the amp and then whatever RCA cable thereafter. No prob. I've got an almost new Syn Res Ref xlr cable too and hate to have to off it right away. Adapters such as I'm asking for would be immense help and save big bucks right now though.

Thanks for the help, always.

Hello,

One other option is to call/Email Frank at Signal Cable ... He will make whatever you need. He is a really nice guy does good work and the cost is very reasonable. I really like the Silver Resolution stuff but his copper cables are also well made and have a great sound in my humble opinion.

I really like the idea of having a 6" to 1 foot Balanced XLR to RCA converter cable both for the strain relief and it gives me more options. I never thought about it - I had Frank build me full cables with balanced XLR to RCA for my Levinson amps. The Camac to RCA converters were almost as much as the cables Frank built for me. It would be nice to have the converter cables however - I could play around with a few different IC's. It's hard to find IC's that run a male XLR to male RCA. If I went with your idea and had a short XLR male to RCA female - I would have many more options to try.

Good luck.
