XLR USA TO EUROPEAN-WILL IT CAUSE DAMAGE


Hello everyone,

Like most of you, this time off has given me a lot of time to play around with my gear. Here's my question:

I have an old school amp(Carver Sunfire Cinema Grand 5) which I had overhauled . New caps, resisters etc..I  can't figure out what standard it is. I have a Marantz 7705 processor that is European standard for XLR. There are different versions of my amp which say USA and European XLR standard in the manual.. My amp was manufactured in 6/2000. I can't find the original manual only manuals for different amps. Will connectoing an XLR Euro to USA amp cause damage or degradation to music. Hope everyone stays safe and well.

Anthony

Thank you both for responding. Each makes total sense. Had to hear it from some veterans!

Thanks, itsjustme. Through my research regarding XLR, the info is on par with what everyone mentioned. I needed reinforcement from some other experts before I pulled the trigger. Marantz advises against it per the manual. They recommend to swap the pins. Not feeling that adventurous as of yet. Thanks for chiming in.
