Spider v 20 mkII awfull sound with TRS to XLR cable connected to the headphone plug

Hello,

Everything stays in the title : Spider v 20 mkII awfull sound with TRS to XLR cable connected to the headphone plug.

The cable is tested, I tried it on a mixer with mike inputs, low-Z inputs, with many gain and volume adjustments, either the sound is vey weak (clean sound) or, at higher volumes, the sound is noisy, dirty, with windy  and saturated awfull sound.

Can someone help me ?

Regards.

Yes, that would be expected. You’re unlikely to have success unless you use additional equipment. Google is your friend for more details and equipment requirements.

 

Is there a reason you want to use the amp’s headphones output rather than the (compatible) XLR output? You’d be better off exploring ways to use the XLR rather than trying to force a circle into a square.
