I just bought a pair of 2031As and I want to hook them up to my MPC1000 directly for the time being until I get my mixer. I want to hook up the mpc stereo outs to the xlr ins on the monitors. The monitor's inputs are balanced, but the mpc's outs are unbalanced. I found the wires I need, but I don't know if I should get the balanced ones or the unbalanced ones. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Nevermind. The truths are servo-balanced and I just found out exactly what that means. When it comes to this balanced/unbalanced thing, I know nothing, lol.

the MPC has unbalanced outs, so it makes sweet F.A. difference no matter what type of cables you are using.

All unbalanced cable should be kept under 5m long, also keep them away from power cables and any sort of magnetic fields.
