Homemade RCA to XLR Direct Box under $100
Фильм және анимация
I recently had my buddy, Dallas Nicholson, create me a small passive direct box with RCA inputs and XLR outputs! In this video, we talk about how you can use this with your entry level DJ controller to convert the unbalanced RCA output to a balanced XLR output, as well as why!

A video of Dallas showing the electrical components would be a delight. On a hot summer day would be a bonus. 😎
Awesome stuff. A video with Dallas going over the schematic / details would be super rad
Thank you so much for the shout out PJ! I loved your explanation and the excellent demonstration!
GET DALLAS IN 😊 Can't wait to try and do this
When I'm using a controller with just a single pair of RCA outs, I'll run them into the RCA inputs on my monitor speaker, which has XLR outputs. So I get the benefits of an balanced output (with a little extra gain) and a monitor at the same time.

Smart!
Great explanation! Here’s what I always bring with me. It’s the Swiss Army knife of DI boxes (RCA and 1/4” inputs) Switchcraft SC702CT
Very interesting. I am having the electrical interference issue big time in my new setup. Had to reroute bunch of cables to try to alleviate the problem. It would be awesome if you guys can show us how you built this box. Thanks
Man this s is game changer stuff I would love for Dallas to show us all
Brilliant! This is what i need and your video explain everything. I really need a box like this. The only one thing that i need also in a box like this, is to have an AUX for boot with volume control. and tha would be the top for my needs. Do you think that this is possible?
How can I buy the little box that you're using?
Can I buy anythlike this that has balanced in and unbalanced outs? I would really need one for my home theater
I want to know how to make.
Show me how to build one please
Love this now I know why I have that sound. Can you do 1 on the Mic feed back on DDJ REV1. No matter what volume I have it on I get distortion and feed back.
Please let dalas tell how he built it. On full video
Want to see to create it!
I wanna create a passive Di Box
I have the opposite question. I can run an longish (20ft) xlr cable to a home stereo system, but I think I will need to connect to the system with RCA. Will a short xlr to rca cable work fine for this or will a box like you describe? Thanks for the the timely video.

20 ft unbalanced, you will hear radio interference for sure.

No I can an XLR 20 feet to the stereo system, then if I connected a short xlr to rca cable to connect to the system, would that prevent the inference?

Not sure I understand what you are describing.
Interesting video, I learned something today :). Wouldn't an external mixer do the same thing, with the added benefit of more headroom that comes with using an external mixer.

External mixer is the ideal setup; not the easiest thing to bring around compared to a tiny DI box.
How can I hook up rca kereoke to xlr speakers?

Plug to a mixer. Mixer to speaker.
