Balanced to SE on Home Theater Processor

[TX428]

I am looking at a Home Theater processor that only offers Balanced output. My two subwoofers, and amplifier for my rear channels only accept Single Ended RCA connections. Will the use of adapaters from Balanced to SE-RCA damage anything?

Thanks!

No. What pre-pro is it?

That looks a neat unit. Those balanced outputs are not specified. You should find that out, as hey may be too "hot" for a lot of consumer gear. When you unbalance those outputs the specified output voltage should be halved if those XLR configurations conform to pro specs. You need to look into this more and find out exactly what the specification are.
