Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Subwoofer Adapter/Cable Assistance

Long time Axiom owner. I just received my M3 Walnuts and was setting them up and ran into a subwoofer problem. I currently have 2 x EP500 v3. One of my subwoofer cables/adapters became damaged and I need to replace it. Problem is I'm a little unsure what to replace it with.

I have a Denon 3400H and I connected my subwoofers via a subwoofer cable. Problem is the end that plugs into the subwoofer low level input is too small and I had to purchase an adapter in order to plug it into the subwoofer's low level input. I just don't remember what the name or type of adapter it is. Just hoping someone can provide some assistance.

As well, rather than purchase an adapter, is there a cable that comes with an rca end that would fit into the receiver and the other end larger that would fit into the back of the EP500?

I was pretty sure the v3 ep500 had rca inputs … but when I checked out a picture on audiomart it only had an XLR … that’s very odd.

You need an female RCA to male XLR Adapter …

Mojo, Have you seen the 500v3? I change my post after I saw a picture of its amp … I was shocked that it only had a low level XLR. wonder if all of them are like that or if they had a mid version change. It must have shipped with an adapter otherwise I think it would be a big marketing fail.

RCA to RCA won't work. The back of the EP500v3 has a larger input than the RCA plug. I had to use an adapter but not sure what size adapter it is...

I didn't realize they make an rca to xlr adapter. I'll see what I can find.

In looking at all the options, I'm getting confused. There's reference to balanced and unbalanced.

There is some a low level input on the back of the EP500 V3 that looks like an rca plug but it's bigger. Maybe a 6.5mm or something just not sure.

Maybe I'll have to call Axiom tomorrow. What a pain!

v3 should have never seen the light of day.

I only see XLR in photos. Maybe you got v3.5.

I put rca to xlr into Amazon and took the link of the first one I saw …RCA to XLR
Looks ok … less then $10 but you might want to check out a few to see if you like something better

Found my manual for the subwoofer
It says Your subwoofer is shipped with a supplied 1.4" Phone to RCA Jack Adapter and this plugs into the XLR/1/4" Phone in on subwoofer.

I never did like the adapters as they were a little loose and hung down. I wonder if an XLR adapter will be the same. Can I use any rca to xlr cable to connect my receiver to the subwoofer?

Would this work?

My only concern is it says "An XLR to RCA cable converts a balanced audio signal into an unbalanced signal"...I Have no idea if this is ok or a problem.
