First, TODD - my apologies, I was responding to Warren thinking I was reposing to you the OP and got his equipment list mixed up with yours.


Second, Warren you might want to move this to your OWN thread (now you know why I mentioned the MIXER I DID) but while I’m here: You used the singular noun for speaker - If you truly meant ONE speaker not sure what to tell you? I’ve never MIXED to mono as my final product. I have monitored a MIX in MONO to see how things layered (what overpowered what) but in the end it was finished as stereo. I think based on previous comments you already know all the following, so unsure what to tell you - ignore if this is all obvious:

If you truly want to use ONE speaker for mixing than that Amazon cable would be less than useless since, you’d always have a hot male plug sitting in the open doing nothing but risking damage your output amp (whatever it’s connected to) and possibly (probably) putting noise on the one side that is used.

FWIW: that Amazon “TRS to two mono breakouts” is not considered a BALANCED cable – it is simply a two-signal cable that spits them into two MONO-signal cables (usually used as a stereo out to separate Left and Right mono outputs)

For one speaker what you want coming out of the Scarlett (SOLO or 2i2 or ANY audio box) is all of your mix placed on one channel, usually all left (more convention than required) but doesn’t really matter - could just as well be right. And if your speaker only accepts ¼” male than what you want is obviously a RCA male to ¼” male if using SOLO OR a ¼” male (TS) to ¼” male (TS) if using 2i2 (no harm nor foul hooking balanced to unbalanced since the TIP part of a TRS, or TS, carries the in-phase original part of signal anyway (unless some idiot designed, or built, the output amp).

There are TRS to RCA , and TRS to ¼” MONO adapters, and any combo of the following: 3.5mm, 1/8”, ¼”, XLR, male, female, TRS, TS, gender changers. I have bags full of these adapters. If you can think of a connection 1/8 to XLR I have something that will adapt male to female , stereo to mono, big to small. However, in my gear I try NOT to use ADAPTERS: every connection in-between signal output to signal input attenuates and can add noise, plus it is one more physical connection to worry over and in adds physical strain to equipment. The seemingly minor EXTRA physical weight can, over time, strain the input/output jacks on equipment.

Do not try mixing with one speaker (unless intended for a live MONO performance).

You can use one speaker to check the mix for those conditions, but 'mixing' in a single speaker should not be the norm.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
