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!

Assuming that the preamp outputs are line level, then yes it is perfectly safe to do this.

You will wire the connection up as follows:

  • Ground (RCA) to Pin 1 and 3 (XLR)
  • Signal (RCA) to Pin 2 (XLR)

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