Run Balanced and RCA at the same time?

I run balanced and single-ended out of my BAT VK3i preamp all the time. The BAT provides one set of balanced outs, and one set of single-ended outs. As I use Infinity IRS Beta speaker, I drive the servo woofer EQ box with the single-ended outs, and go direct to my mid/hi amp with the balanced. Excellent! Your preamp may not supply both outputs at the same time, you may want to ask the manufacturer to be sure.

I would keep in mind what Sean says. You will need to level-match as the balanced side will run aprox. 6db hotter. In my case the Infinity servo xover has a woofer level control. If your crossover has a level control you'll be all set, or you may have to make a "little black box" with a good pot!

Hello RWD:

The RS1x crossover box is required for the proper operation of the mid/tweeter panels. The xover in the bottom of the panels IS NOT FULLY PASSIVE. You MAY damage your mid/tweeter panels running direct. For your info, please check this PDF I put up for you at my site:

It clearly shows caps in the line to the hi-pass outs.
EMIM mylars are no longer available, I'd hate to see you ruin a fine speaker. Lord knows, I must have owned and tweaked 5 pairs of RS1x over the years! Please RWD, proceed with extreme caution!
