DDJ-SR Controller Mixer Output

I just bought a DDJ-SR Controller. I have always had XLR outs on my mixers but just realized, this DDJ-SR has only 1/4 main outputs on the mixer's main output. I'm going direct from the controller's output into my speakers. The speakers accepts either XLR or 1/4 input.

My question is what type of 1/4 cable should I use to go from the mixer out to my speakers? Should it be TRS or just TS, meaning, 1 ring on the 1/4 plug or 2 rings? I think 2 rings is balanced and 1 ring is not. Also, another question is should I stay 1/4 to other end 1/4 or should I use a cable that is 1/4 one end (for mixer output), but XLR other end (for speaker input)?

I am hearing conflicting information as to what is best so I thought I post on this forum to see if there were any suggestions. Does what cable used make any difference?

Thanks!

It will take either one, TS or TRS, I would use TRS for my set up. Also stay 21/4 thru the cable unless you have to get a XLR adaptor.

Thanks Jay. Do you know if there is any sacrifice to the quality of sound if I use a cable that is TRS (2 ring) on the 1/4 side but XLR on the other end? My speakers take XLR or 1/4 but I am having a hard time finding 1/4 to 1/4 cable that is long enough and is 2 ring TRS balanced.
