You should be using mono 1/4" plugs btw... the outputs are not stereo hence why there is a left and right.
Nope!. That's when you are using a balanced source to a balanced amp. Since my amp (NKK-01) is unbalanced, you need to configure it like that, to get the best sound out of your 1212m. Basically, you need a unbalanced cable.

care to educate me on the reasoning and logic behind that... how exactly do you go about wireing them in that configuration.
This is an Emu 1212M cable. Built out of Canare Star quad cable and Rca connectors. 1/4 connectors are Dayton and are nicely wrapped in Neon Green Tec flex. I swear, this thing is alive and can awake me up at night.

how does that give you the best sound?
The signal from the 1212m is coming out balanced (default), so if you use a mono connector, you are sending both channel signals (right and left) to one amps channel. You just need to send the right signal to the right channel and the left to the left channel, as an unbalanced connection. Sound is very clean and neat, like this.

Yeah, I thought this is exactly why you used the mono 1/4 plugs...
