i think the rnc has TRS jacks so it IS balanced
just check on their site if you do'bt have your user manual ?

actually it might not be balanced on both ins and outs

for the rest I agree with you

No... the TRS jacks on the RNC are for an "all in one connector" input/output connection... it allows you to do things like hang the RNC off the insert point on an RNP or Great River ME-1NV... so no, the RNC is not "balanced".

Now... if I remember correctly [and it's been a bunch of years] the PCM-42 and the Prime Time II can be run with either a balanced or unbalanced I/O...

You might want to experiment with a little RTFM for confirmation one way or the other.

Best of luck with it.

you can use it with balanced just fine so long as you use the right cables.

the rnc's are unbalanced.
i also have a feeling that the lexicon's may be balanced-able, especially the prime time.
the spx is most likely unbalanced. don't know about the moog.
