To
convert balanced analogue audio to unbalnced or vice-versa:
Use a couple of audio transformers mounted on a krone block.
These can be inexpensive transformers (such as OEP model Z1604) or, as shown, top quality Sowter transformers.
The transformers are stuck in place with double sided sticky foam (such as RS stock No.554 844)
Compared to using an active balancing box it has the following advantages: it needs less space, it needs less cable and connectors, it uses no power so doesn't cost anything to run and it doesn't use up a mains socket, it's more reliable and less expensive.
