Thankyou. As an FYI, ( maybe it’s already common knowledge to most but….) I have read that not all XLR connections are fully balanced / differential. I can imagine why this would be but apparently it’s a thing. ( maybe I’m wrong?) But there are a number of adapters out there too to convert XLR to single ended.
