1/4 inch jacks vs. XLR
i just bought my first pair of really nice monitors. I have the option of connecting via 1/4 phone type jacks or XLR. What is the difference? I am using them on my NLE and really they are for basic mixing; nothing to fancy.

If you mean the speakers have inputs for 1/4″ or XLR, well as long as the 1/4″ inputs are balanced i.e. they take the TRS (tip ring sleeve) jacks then there is no difference. It should state this near the inputs or in the docuentation specs of your speakers.

If you make your own cables, be careful to wire them exactly the same to avoid putting the signals out of phase.

Make my own cables? Hell, I ‘m lucky to get them in the right holes.
