![]() The advantage compared to simply bridging the amp, is that when you bridge, not only do you (more than) double the output, but you also double the noise and distortion. Just need to mind polarity, but it becomes a balanced monoblock this way. These plug into the L and R (+) side only, and the speaker attaches to the red posts only. It involved a Neutrik XLR at the preamp end, through Mogami cable to a dual RCA termination with the ground/shield floated at the amp end. (I received advice direct from Michael Elliot, the amp designer). Who’s the go-to cable guys these days? I had some customs made up from my preamp to the amplifiers on my main system due to the “unconventional” hook up method. Maybe make cables with litz braided CAT6 wire.īut I think I’ll find some more decent RCA cables, or order/make up custom length ones to keep it short n sweet back there. If I get exceedingly bored at some point I may look into this. Is there an "industry standard" or was this simply a "Kenwood thing"?įinally, if I was to use it, would a specialized cable be in order (to keep the channels seperated and shielded from one another) or was/is it simply a MIDI cable? I'm wondering if there is any advantage to using this cable, rather than old fashioned RCA cables? Do they use some sort of balanced connection through this cable (like an XLR) which would have noise rejection advantages? My guess is that it simply bundles the left and right positive RCA connections (center pin) in one cable, probably with a shared shield, which is probably worse than decent RCA cables which have independent shields so the left signal does not broadcast to the right and vice-versa.Īnd is this something only Kenwood did, or were other companies doing it? (My Tascam deck(s) don't have it) I'm collecting old Kenwood components and I see the option to use the DIN cable rather than the RCA connectors for one (of the two possible) tape deck(s). Here's a question: Has anyone used the 5-pin DIN cable to connect their tape deck to their integrated amp? ![]()
