Hello everyone, I'm in search of an USB audio interface of reasonable price that has separate output for monitors and subwoofer.
The reason is this - currently, my rig is setup as follow:
Gaming PC <-(USB)-> UMC22 interface <-(TRS a RCA)-> Subwoofer <-(RCA a TRS)-> Monitors
The signal from the PC goes into the UMC22, then is passed to the SVS SB1000PRO, and then to the Kali lp6v2.
The problem in this is that the SVS only accept RCA cables, so it's introducing unbalanced cables in the system. The result is that, when my GPU is under load (for example while running a game) then there is a very audible noise/interference coming out the tweeters and drilling into my brain, today as an experiment I've connected the UMC22 directly to the monitor using an TRS to XLR cable, bypassing the subwoofer, and that obnoxious noise was completely gone ^_^
So my choice here is either to sell the subwoofer, or find a way to use it.
I thought that if I had an interface that could send 2 balanced cables to the monitors and then an unbalanced RCA cable to the subwoofer, it wouldn't cause problems because the subwoofer cannot reproduce that high-pitched noise to begin with.
Am I correct in my assumptions?
If so, can you recommend me the ideal candidate?
It has to be an USB interface so it can be connected to the PC, I need something really basic, since the only use I have for it is to allow me to use these monitors with my gaming PC. A knob for the volume is handy, but not necessary.
