    hello, I have a Behringer Mini FBQ800 graphic equalizer.

    I use the RCA input and output now.

    I want to use the TS out puts now, because the RCA terminals are very loose.

    The FBQ has 1/4" right and left TS output.

    Can i use a TS cable into my KRK S10.4 Sub which have 1/4" left and right TRS input and output without any problems?

    And use TS cable from sub's TRS output to my Pioneer DJ DM50 aktive studio monitors which have 1/4" left and right TRS inputs?

    Hope you understand what i mean.

    Thank you :)

    In answer to your 2 questions:-
    1) You can use a TS cable from the FBQ to the KRK inputs with no problem.

    2) You may be able to use a TS cable from the KRK outputs to the monitor inputs, but that will short out one half of the KRK's balanced output. That may be OK, you need to check the KRK's manual as to how to unbalance the outputs. Much better would be to use TRS cable to the monitors, as that will maintain the noise reduction from the balanced circuit.
