Ben,

As per the lavry manual it says "Note: Most XLR cable adaptors (such as
a cable with XLR Female and a ΒΌ inch MONO plug)
work correctly as Balanced to Unbalanced converters."

Does that mean that I can leave the lavry on default , that is
balanced, and have the cable convert the signal ? Do I understand that
correct ? Also, can I harm the equipment by not chaning the jumpers on
the Lavry leaving it in balanced mode with my amp ?
