MADcHATTER Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Cheapest isnt always the best way to go! Depending on the type of Shielded XLR cable (XLR3, XLR5 Male, etc) you're using...you want to make sure what type of output jack it transfers to. (IE: RCA, ¼" Stereo would be examples of single unbalanced conductors) or if its to an XLR female (a Balanced conductor) this should help you in deciding what kind of interface to use. A balanced audio conductor interconnects the power to provide greater resistance against sources of noise (IE: RadioFrequency, Electro Magnetic Interference, etc.) Check the stats on the interface for the cable you select. Throughput signal strength, resistance levels and overall performance characteristics of both for compatibility. Thats the best advice I can give!
