RCA & XLR audio converters

The right signal.
The right connection.

Connect a balanced XLR component to an RCA system, or send an RCA source into a balanced input. Start by choosing the direction of the signal.

Designed & built in the USA100% analogPart of your signal path

Where it fits

Follow the output.
Find the input.

The connector on your source and the input on your next component determine which converter belongs between them. These are line-level audio components.

  1. Source output
  2. Direction-matched converter
  3. Next line input

Read output and input labels on the actual equipment. A connector shape alone does not establish the signal level or correct direction.

Before you choose

Check the whole
signal path.

Direction first

Write down the source output and destination input. XLR-to-RCA and RCA-to-XLR are different jobs.

Signal level

Confirm line-level compatibility. These are not a substitute for a phono stage or a speaker-level interface.

The whole connection

Check grounding and both equipment manuals. Connector conversion alone does not diagnose every cause of hum.

A few useful answers

Make an informed
connection.

Which direction do I need?

Choose GP-XLR2RCA when the source has a balanced XLR output and the destination takes RCA. Choose GP-RCA2XLR for an RCA source feeding a balanced XLR input.

Is this a digital audio converter?

These G Pulse models handle analog audio connections. They do not convert USB, optical or digital coaxial audio.

Will a converter fix hum?

Hum has several possible causes. Establish the source of the problem and the equipment grounding arrangement before choosing a converter.
