Hi again :)

well, just checking out the amp and im confused on how to input audio to it...

on my other one it has a twin phono input, on this one it only has XLR and 2 jacks..

like this:

AUDIO INPUT-
XLR XLR

Jack Jack
(mono)

-----------------

my mixer has twin phono outputs, so do i need twin phono to twin xlr?

i assume xlr is of higher quality than 1/4 jack?

and finally, could you pretty please link me to the right cable if you have time? :group_hug

Thanks in advance :) :bounce_fl

Josh,

You will need phono to xlr or phono to unbalanced-jack.

Something like this will do if you just want a budget cable. Twin 1/4? Plug to Phono 2m : Connect! - Phono : Maplin (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=36304)

XLR is not better than Jack connections, it's mainly down to personal preference. You don't really get the benefits of XLR and TRS Jacks without a balanced signal anyway, which a phono output will not deliver.

Yeah its just a different way to connect to an amp, usually on smaller poweramps if i'm right?
