XLR vs TRS

theaaao · 2012-05-30 21:28:17

Hey buying the krk RP6's and wondering about an audio interface for it. I have this interface already: http://www.alesis.com/io2 But this won't work because it's all inputs right?? Recommendations on an interface which will be cheap and suitable would be appreciated. I'm a newbie at all this jazz so be gentle with me..:p

you just need two trs to trs cables

or two trs to xlr cables

the outs are the two hex bolted jacks on the back of the IF
( where it says (MAIN L -R ) on the sliver top

Well XLR is much harder to break than TRS is, but other than that there is no difference at all. For an install at the back of a rack that will not be touched very often, TRS is reliable enough and it's cheaper.
