Hello,
I would like to ask about mixer "Monacor Img Stage Line MMX-142". http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/713xGkKJtqL._SL1023_.jpg
It has got only balanced main output. And there's no information about connecting main balanced output to unbalanced power amplifer input. Since I can't find schematics, I don't know whether it is OK to use balanced output of this mixer with unbalanced input of PA.

Looks like it has only got TSR jack outputs. No problem, use a mono jack lead and it will convert balanced to unbalanced. It will connect the cold signal to ground, converting it to unbalanced.
Thanks for fast reply🙂
OK, I'll do so. Just was afraid of different types of balanced output I have heard. Some of them could not be used for connecting to unbalanced inputs.

You shouldn't use mono jacks because you are shorting the inverted signal to ground, and creating distortion on the output. I will probably don't harm the mixer but it's best to use a stereo jack and use only the tip and ground for signal output.
I can't think of a commercial mixer with balanced outputs that is not happy driving into a mono device. Any distortion is small, especially considering this is for live sound. That is a real basic mixer, and they would not have added extra jacks for unbalanced use. To use unbalanced you would want to ground the "unused" side.
