Hi! Is a good idea to plug a device (not a mic, some other sound device) to MIC1 and MIC2 with a TRS balanced cable?
Example: Roland HDP-20 has TRS balanced output. Is a good idea to plug these outputs to XDJ-RX2 TRS balanced inputs (MIC1 and MIC2)? I think the proper way is to use XDJ-RX2 unbalanced AUX input, but I have the doubt.
Thanks!
No - that mic input goes through a microphone amplifier, which is not designed to receive line-level signals. You'll wind up with distorted audio and poor quality signal. Your best option is to use a TRS to RCA cable and connect it to the AUX input.

Thanks. It's a good idea to use an atenuator balanced in out like this: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ATTY--a-designs-atty-2-channel-level-interface?adpos=1o1&creative=54989263441&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=Cj0KEQjwuLKtBRDPicmJyvu_qZMBEiQAzlGN5rwGVVXQ8MYu_2L3hAElQ3LXU5yzv_NHrEDVs80Ra4caAscS8P8HAQ ???
What? Why? You're spending $100 for a box that does nothing more than you can achieve by using a simple $10 TRS-to-RCA cable for the AUX inputs.
A balanced connection is only a concern when you're running long distances between devices so as to avoid outside interference from the cable acting as an antennae.
Yes, you're right. Thank you!
