Help: Hd500 Xlr Balanced Out => No Signal

Hi Folks,

I want to use the HD500 as Soundcard/Interface for Cubase editing and monitoring but can't get any sound from the connected studio monitors.

Hope you got an idea what I'm doing wrong!

 

My POD inputs

  • Cubase to POD via USB
  • Variax to POD via Digital Cabel
  • Keyboard Line out to POD AUX in

My POD Outputs

  • XLR out L&R to Adam F5 Studio Monitors
  • Headphones on Phones out

I ran the obove setup without the monitors up untill now and had no issues. Editing, playback, recording all works fine.

Now to get rid of the headphone only setup I took one of the new studio monitors out of the box and connected it to one XLR balanced out but have no sound at all!

 

I tried

  • POD sound through Headphones => works
  • Connecting the monitor to the Latops headphone out via 3,5" Klinke to RCA => works, so the monitor is ok.
  • Changing XLR cabels didn't change anything => cable should be fine too
  • Flipped through all POD setup options I could but found no mute/balance/setup options for XLR out => No clue if I missed something.

If anybody has an idea what I'm missing I'd be very happy!

The POD's XLR out is at mic level, so you might have to crank everything right up to get a decent level.

Ok, I see. How moch of a difference in Level is that in the rough? Half, a quater?

I though I played arround with the volume nobs but I'm going to make sure tonight.

 

Should the Master Volume affect the XLR level or does the patch route directly to the XLR outs?

 

Thinking about another approach, does the POD unbalanced out have the right level to connect to the Monitors balanced in?

I use a pair of KRK Rokit 5 plugged directly into the HD500.

 

If I use unbalanced outs, I can take the roof off with the noise if I feel so inclined.

 

If I use the balanced outs, I have to turn EVERYTHING up to 11 just to get a decent bedroom level.
