    Behringer ultracurve pro DEQ2496

    I just purchased a behringer Ultracurve DEQ2496. The DEQ2496 has XLR digital outputs while my pre/pro has coaxial digital inputs (RCA). In order to hook-up I am looking for an adaptor for XLR to RCA. I noticed CARDAS and Neutrik make them. The Neutrik converts the 110 ohm XLR signal to the...

Should I attach the shielding to the negative spade on both ends...

    16 gauge wire

    Thanks for the info. The references proved helpful, even with a 4 ohm impedence only a small % change. I also found a link that mentioned that the number of strands in the wire is more important than actual gauge. The strand count in my wire is 30 which is above average.
