Hi there!
I am hooking up my old project studio setup after a looong break from production and recording and am looking for some clarification on connecting my audio interface to my monitors which I was wondering if anyone could assist me with?
According to the IO14 reference manual, the outputs on this interface are balanced. However I am unable to find in the MA-20D documentation whether or not the line 2 inputs are balanced or not... is anyone aware of what these inputs are?
If my understanding is correct, if the inputs were unbalanced, there would be no harm in using balanced cables as the cold ring signal would simply not be connected?
Thankyou very much for your help!

Yeah I figured if it was safe to do so then I may as well use balanced cables - think I am gonna have a bash at making my own cables this time too! Wish me luck >_<
