I'm trying to wire up a CZH 12V CZE-7C
FM TRANSMITTER at church with stereo
, its just pushing mono
right now. I have to make a purchase to get the correct cabling.
The xmtr is installed in the foyer, near a foyer amp, where the feed is split to the xmtr, which is just connected mono
currently.
I at first, wanted to just replace the whole cable run straight from the mixer, as xlr
, then at the last second adapt, but then i wasn't sure if this xmtr is balanced
, or unbalanced
input
s. I'm thinking its consumer(1/7wt) hence unbalanced
, but if i can get a confirmation, i would be grateful.
So i was going to go xlr
to balanced
3.5mm
trs
at first
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VRWK7DH/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3SP9D0HBLLG4I&psc=1, then i realized this may be a mistake. I don't want to fry anything either. Would that have fried something?
I an use some advice on the correct cabling:
Starting at the back of Mackie24x4
mixer, can i use the aux sends
5/6
with a ts mono/ts mono y splitter adapter cable
to patch straight into the stage loom here? (xlr
or trs
, which is better here?)
I also have available tape
outs which for some reason i cant get to work on my recorder, so not sure i want to play with them. I also have headphone2
out
, but thats tied to master headphone vol
, so that wont work. I want to setup the cleanest stereo
run as possible.
Here's some of the equipment i was looking to buy, the dirt cheapest xlr
patch cable, 50'
, to go from sanctuary stage box(half as close as mixer) to the back of the foyer amp/fm xmtr stack
1- http://amazon.com/Moukey-50ft-Microphone-Female-Cables/dp/B07FY4RLKK
(Dirt cheapest based on the premise that xlr
shouldn't need to be shielded
and oxyfree
should it? i mean balanced
, is balanced
, and phase corrected already, so shield not apply, I'm thinking....)
From there i'm thinking i'll need one of the following
- normal unbalanced
trs
stereo
adapter like this https://www.amazon.com/CableCreation-Stereo-Compatible-iPhone-more-Black/dp/B077VMZ52B/ref=sr_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=xlr+to+trs+3.5mm+male+adapter&qid=1601147468&s=musical-instruments&sr=1-13 - or a
xlr to 3.5mm stereo unbalanced
hard adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VB39G1Has opposed to the
3.5mm
"balanced
" adapter cable linked above.
Will that work?
Is it worth it to do the run via xlr
on this type of application, to keep the noise down on a mixer output like this, instead of just using trs
line all the way? I figured since the xmtr may be consumer-end, and the run will end up at least about '100'
, but about 150'
, since our stage box has a huge coil of extra. So will there be some reducible noise here if i run xlr
, or will that not apply here? e.g.
- does the phase cancellation still work all the way to the foyer, assuming i keep it
xlr
all the way to the foyer for the length? - or does somehow adapting it from
xlr
tounbalanced
line
turn change the circuitry back at the mixer to change the way thexlr
now gets its feed tounbalanced
non cancelling somehow?
Now, how can i adapt this new feed in the foyer correctly to this little CZH 12V CZE-7C
3.5mm
trs
? (unbalanced
, or balanced
?)
NOte, this has both
mic
and audio
input
. whats the difference? is one maybe balanced
and one unbalanced
, or is one maybe different resistance
to accomodate a mic
, or are they the same and just labeled bad?
Also, how would "you" run it, if different, to ensure the signal is totally noise free, 150'
from mixer, through the stage box (xlr
, or line
?), to foyer split, then adapt to this xmtr???
