Hi Ramses thanks for the reply, I can leave with fade up for the volume I’ll take every thing to have center balance I mean with the ADI 2 there is center balance, every passive controller I had shifted the source sound to the left even my SSL Six have this problem, and no in the lower volume but when I increase the level all music shifting to the left and when I connect my monitor directly to the ADI 2 all is balanced!!

I’m waiting for a friend to come with is Audient Nero to check if there is center balance, also the Nero use relays to a/b so I guess they can take the abuse!!

Still need to know if my last hope is the ADI 2 to have to set of monitors will the ADI 2 PRO FS R BE relay take the abuse…??

And thanks for the info to how to use anthers RME interface for secondary monitors, soon as I get back into the studio I’ll try….

Hi KaiS

Can you give me an example for the cable I need for using PH 3/4 in TRS Balance mode ?

I have this one

And as far as I know this is not balanced, I already connected with this cable, I have it, and it introduced a lot of noise floor compered to balanced phones mode that was extremely quite, please KaiS let me know if I'm confused or just insight me with the cable I need to use my secondary monitors with balanced cable.....??

Thanks.

This one, finally someone who can solder.

Use balanced cables from the TRS to the XLR, link XLR pin 3 to ground (sleeve) only at the TRS side.
The resulting interconnection will be fully balanced.

@Kubrak:
You don’t need to take my word for it, read the Wikipedia entry about balanced interconnections:

If:
• The sender’s output impedance is same impedance for hot and cold (active and ground both 0 Ohm in case of ADI-2’s headphone output),
• The interconnection cable is balanced,
• The receiver’s input is balanced / differential,
the resulting interconnection is indeed fully balanced.
The differential receiver is the important part.

This is the same principle a used in ADI-2’s rear TRSs, which are “impedance balanced:
Tip = active, hot.
Ring = passive, connected to ground through a resistor of same impedance as hot branch impedance.
Sleave = audio ground.

So, it really made a difference, as suggested.

Great!

Loading “Setups” can be assigned to a singe button’s push on the device or remote.
Read manual page 26 (DAC), 28 (Pro) or 30 (2/4 Pro SE).

Watch out:
The  “Remap key” configuration is part of each individual “Setup” and needs to be set for each individual “Setup”.
This can be used to toggle through 2 or more Setups with one single button.

Works like this:
As the button assignment isn’t global, but part of each “Setup”, you can even have different assignments to the same button in each Setup - a nice feature that we can use for the following:

Choose ONE single button that you usually don’t need.
In Setup 1 assign: “load Setup 2”
In Setup 2 assign: “load Setup 1”
Now this single button toggles between both Setups.

This method can be extended to load even more Setups if needed, like:
In Setup 1 assign: “load Setup 2”
In Setup 2 assign: “load Setup 3”
In Setup 3 assign: “load Setup 4”
In Setup 4 assign: “load Setup 1”
Now the single button circles through Setup 1-4, clever, isn’t it?!

As for loading Setups ADI-2 asks for confirmation, a double-push is needed to execute the load.
Holding the button more than 1s, the button‘s original function is available.
Therefore I typically assign the SETUP button to load Setups – sic!
