Interlink Atom HE to 250 legacy

Hi-Fi Corner

Hi folks, can I use the ClearwayX XLR (2XLR-1XLR), which I used between my NSC222 and 250dr as a interlink between a Atom HE and a 250 (2010).
Thank you in advance for your reactions

I believe the XLR output on the Atom HE is to pre-amp.

If your cable worked with a 222 it should be fine with an Atom HE. Both use a 2 x XLR balanced output.
The 250 uses an unbalanced XLR connection. It’s generally best not to mix balanced and unbalanced connections, so you may (hypothetically) find that the unbalanced RCA output on either preamp is better, but as you already have the XLR cable it’s probably not worth the hassle of changing.

Naim make a specific cable to do what you wish to do.

Just ensure the Chord is wired correctly to go from balanced to unbalanced. I imagine it would be and it obviously worked with the 222, which has the same balanced outputs. If in doubt, check with Chord.
