    Default xlr to banana?

    Hello o wise ones,
    anyone know where I can get speaker cable with xlr male one end and banana plugs(2)male other end for each speaker? Or would it be better to buy the plugs to make myself? and probably cheaper?
    cheers

    I think you'll need to make your own as XLR is not the normal output arrangement for an amp.

    If the speakers have XLR inputs they might be active speakers ?

    What's the make and model of the speakers ?

    I soldered a short length of decent solid core speaker cable onto my xlr's. Then soldered 4mm sockets onto them so as I could use my normal cable. The pin out for the xlr's shouls be on the back of the speaker.

    Yes they are Linn Sara Passive.
    Sorry that was a too quick answer....I already have cables with a xlr on one end and 2 banana plugs on the other but they are too short and I dont want to add another piece of cable
