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

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.
