single ended to balanced adapter?
Jul 12, 2009 at 8:17 PM Post #16 of 19
If balanced ever goes mainstream, I'd like to see standardized an audio connector that will be able to plug into balanced as well as unbalanced sources without an adapter. For example, maybe a 4 pole connector that fits into 3.5mm jacks, tip is left+, middle is right+, bottom contains both left- and right- which a balanced output will keep separate from each other but an unbalanced output will merge and use as ground.

That'd work. And 4 pole 3.5mm plugs are already readily available. Though I'm not aware of any 4 pole 1/4" plugs.

Blue Jeans cable will make you one. I have one and like it.

The Meier amps do use some combo XLR/TRS jacks.
