RNC acknowledges this and they're the once who talk about the need to make the cables I described. This is from their website:


Connecting the RNC to balanced (XLR) equipment
Here are the cable connections necessary to hook up the RNC to balanced equipment that uses XLR connectors. (click on link below to see image provided by RNC)

The RNC is not the "troublemaker". It was designed that way. It's actually a feature, to easily patch into a insert point with one cable. The trouble arises from you trying to use it with the 12AY7, in a way that neither device was designed to be used. To use the 2 devices in the way you want, you need to do something special. I researched options for you, as posted above.

Good luck.
