• If your audio source device has balanced outputs, use TRS (balanced
¼
″
phone) cables to
connect it to Dani for best results
• TRS means “Tip, Ring, Sleeve”; so in other words, 3 conductors. Below you can see that there
are 3 discrete sections of conducting metal on TRS plugs.
• The other end of a TRS cable will typically be either
TRS
or
XLR female

Cables for your Dani for BALANCED audio sources
• If you are feeding Dani’s inputs with TRS, avoid using TS cables in the Thrus as this will
unbalance Dani’s inputs and your signal level will be cut in half (made quieter)
• A common use case when you’ll need to use TS connections is when your audio source device has
RCA outputs. SKAAstore.com has cables which are 2 RCA to 2 TS which are perfect for this. You
can also use a common 2 RCA - 2 RCA cable and 2 x RCA to TS adapters on one side.
• If your source device is balanced but you’re short on balanced cables, you may find yourself
feeding Dani with a TS cable to In 1 and a TRS cable to In 2 or vice versa. You’ll notice that
whichever channel has the TRS connection is louder than the other channel. That’s because it has
literally twice the signal pouring into it. You can fix the situation by padding the TRS channel by 6
dB (or more accurately, by 6 dB more than the TS channel is padded) — this will lower the TRS signal
level to match the TS one.
