Reply to TRS > XLR Balanced VS TRS > RCA Balanced to Unbalanced (Volume drop)

Hi All,

Here's the scenario.

Previously running 2 x KRK Rokit 6's from my NI Komplete Audio 6 with the following cable connections.

Balanced TRS output on the Audio 6 > Unbalanced RCA on the KRK's (I was using an RCA cable with a TRS jack on the end plugged into the Audio 6, with the RCA end plugged into the KRK)

Received 2 TRS > XLR cables today & switched to them

Now running with the following:

Balanced TRS output on the Audio 6 > Balanced XLR input on the KRK.

I'm noticing a considerable amount of volume LOSS when using the TRS > XLR, purely by switching the cables.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Much appreciated.
