Subwoofer line out from integrated amp to balanced subwoofer amp input - is this ok?


AudigoN Team,

I have a scenario to run by you.  I am determining what subwoofer amp to use for my new setup.  Crown subwoofer amps have balanced inputs.  However, the integrated amps/preamps that I am considering and would be connecting to the subwoofer amp only have line level outputs (Peachtree Nova 500, NAD M12, NAD M32).

I see that there are adapters and adapter boxes that can be purchased to convert a line level output with RCA connection to a balanced input.

Will one of these provide audiophile level of signal?  Are there any dangers to the equipment if this approach is done?  Is there a preferred adapter approach?

If this is not a good approach, I will need to find another subwoofer amp with a line level input instead of a balanced connector input.

Please provide your thoughts.

Yes you can use an adapter with no worries.No speaker level inputs on your sub?That would be another option.
