Connect powered monitors to a DP-24 I'm a little confused

The monitor out on my DP-24 has left and right balanced out TSR connections.

The back of each one of my powered monitors (Tannoy Reveal 501a) has an unbalanced in, and a balanced 3-pin XLR in.

So do I need a 1/4" stereo plug on one end and a 3-pin XLR on the other end to plug into the Tannoy's? I would obviously need 2 of these cables.

Help!

And thanks for the help.
 
That would work but you can just use a TS 1/4" for both. A regular TS is more susceptible to noise problems but if you keep the cable under 25' you may not notice. Otherwise go with the XLR to TRS connection.

Thanks for your help. My cables will be under 25' since its a small in home recording studio. However I may go with the TSR to XLR for the sake of eliminating any potential noise. To me it sounds like the logical way to go.
