balanced XLR to unbalanced XLR

I have a pair of Yamaha P2201's and a pair of Yamaha PC1002's that I want to power a surround sound system, using a consumer Pre/Pro. The Pc1002's have balanced XLR inputs, but the XLR inputs on the P2201's are unbalanced. This is my first experience with pro amps, but I read that they operate at different levels than HiFi gear, so I bought Henry Engineering Matchbox's to convert the unbalanced RCA inputs to balanced XLR outputs. So how do I make this work for the unbalanced XLR inputs on the P2201's. Thanks

Simply use RCA from your pre to 1/4 into the unbalanced input
Tip/hot
Sleeve/ground

If you want to use the XLR inputs on the unbalanced input then
use pin 1 as ground/pin 2 hot

I found the manual online

Nice amps by the way......
