XLR to RCA Output:
To achieve an ideal sonic performance, the XLR outputs of the Conductor 3XR are direct coupling. ie. It has no
coupling capacitors or transformers in the audio signal path.
However, direct coupling outputs are NOT compatible with off-the-shelf XLR to RCA adaptors like the ones showing
below. Never use these type of adaptors. Using such adaptors to connect the C3XR to any single-ended amplifier
with RCA inputs will damage the internal opamps of the C3XR. Doing so will void the warranty.
Therefore, to safely connect the Conductor 3XR to any single-ended amplifiers, please use the RCA output of the
Conductor. The only adaptor that is permissible is the transformer type of adapters as shown below. (Neutrik
