I am using RCA from the preamp to the DSP can't use XLR. Am also using RCA from the DSP to the XPA-5 but have XLRs ordered.
Will get some pictures in the next day or so. Need to get the room in order first.
Grunt, the Audyssey worked with the preouts. But it did have the XLRs set to -6. so I am not sure it liked the speakers.


One small point of clarification that might not be obvious: Whatever connection method you choose for the DSP must be used for both the input and output. Never mix RCA inputs with XLR outputs or vice versa. If you do this the DSP box is no longer unity gain (level in = level out) and there is a risk of clipping the input before reaching the limits of the system.
