From memory it was a little Peavey thing that did the trick for us, I think we needed balanced XLRs from memory? Dunno, been years.

morphine wrote:The obvious question is... do those PA speakers also have analog XLR inputs and/or balanced TRS inputs? I bet they do. And at that point all you need is an affordable interface with either of those outputs (sub-$200, more close to $100) and you're set. For this specific simple scenario (a single PC outputting sound) it seems that digital XLR just complicates things.

Your Google-Fu is strong and wonderful. Contacted.
