Hello,

Just looking for some advice on which cables I should buy for:

Magni 3 > M-Audio BX5-D3

The speakers come with:

1 x XLR Balanced
1 x TRS Balanced/Unbalanced

Magni 3:

RCA preamp output

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

You want 2x 6.35mm mono to RCA. Link

Alternatively, you could get two 6.35mm to RCA adaptors and connect RCA to RCA cables.

I would go with option 1, which will have soldered connections between the termination (jacks) and the wire, vs using adapters which will not be soldered and could degrade signal slightly.

^This.

A certain precipitation laden forrested area online has what you need.
If you have any shops geared towards home/studio music production nearby (eg in Canada we have Long and McQuade) this shop will also likely stock this cable.
