Topic: Balanced to Unbalanced Connections
In the Babyface Pro FS manual it states:
The short circuit protected, low impedance XLR line outputs do not operate servo balanced! When connecting unbalanced equipment, make sure pin 3 of the XLR output is not
connected. A connection to ground might cause a decreased THD (higher distortion) and
increased power consumption!
So you suggest using pins 1&2
But looking at decent transformer converters they tend to use Pins 2&3.

Is the RME output non-standard or am I misunderstanding something ?
