You can use the ART (Applied Research and Technology) Cleanbox that balances rca outs and converts them to XLR. You can buy it at any musical instrument retailer like Sweetwater, Musician's Friend, Guitar Center, Zzounds, American Musical Supply, etc. -- mortslim

Go to a musical instrument store and ask about near field monitors. Several companies make them. They are small, and self powered. They have the best audio quality. Professional engineers use them to mix recordings. You can't get any better than that. -- mortslim

Thanks for the help. I have a follow up question. The QSC's have gain controls as well. Should the QSC gain controls be set in any specific way. And the fact that the QSC's have gain controls mean they have built in preamps? -- mortslim
