Balanced line from Mic pre

[eswan]

Hi,
My preamp has balanced 1/4" outputs but no XLR outputs. The MR-8 only has balanced inputs on the XLR inputs, while the 1/4" inputs are unbalanced.

What do other MR8ers do with a mic preamp? Is it Ok to run the 1/4" balanced signals into the unbalanced line, or should I buy something to convert the balanced 1/4" into an XLR plug?

Much thanks.
Erik

cord

i have a xlr cord that has a 1/4 ts end, that does the job well.

i have also just plugged the un-bal cord into the un-bal connector with no problems (1/4 ts to 1/4 ts)

I've had no problem using an unbalanced 1/4" cable either.
