The Mackie guy was another poster, I don't have any balanced speakers so I would need to purchase them in tandem with a card.

Intriguing. How difficult is this?

Pretty easy and you can find schematics online!

this is the kind of cable you are looking for if your audio card can only output balanced audio via TRS plugs (like mine, Yamaha AG06).

Good luck!

EDIT: Found the schematics for you!
