I have a pre-amplifier of which the outputs are RCA. Now i want to buy new active speakers but those only have 3pin-XLR input. is it safe for both my amplifier and active speakers just to use a simple rca to xlr converter plug?
If more information is needed let me know!

A converter plug should be fine and it should have the same wiring as this.
