Hello again everyone, I'm back with another question.
I'm a bit indecisive at the moment. I have been contemplating building a Balanced B22 for a while now, but I also have a desire to build a balanced, transformer coupled all tube amp (as discussed in a previous thread). I am to the point now where I am trying to decide, and I have another question.
Someone mentioned that I could wire up two 2 channel amps to make a balanced amp. My question is - how do I do this?
What I am thinking I am supposed to do is wire L+ and R+ to Pin 2 and Pin 3 of one driver's XLR socket - but what happens to L- and R-?
I would of course do the same to the other (identical) amp for the other driver.
If that's all that's needed apart from changing the input, is this safe to perform on any amplifier, or will component changes be required as well?
I have a Heed CanAmp that I am in love with and I'm now also contemplating buying another and making a balanced amp out of the two.
Any help would be appreciated.
