I presume the Yammie synth outputs are at nominal line level as opposed to mic level. Inexpensive mixers pretty much use XLR inputs for mics only and TRS jacks ( like stereo jacks but it's a balanced mono signal ) for line level. You might get away with it with the mic gain trim turned to minimum but why not just use XLR to TRS leads ? Graham

I suggest you examine the data sheets for National's LME49710/20/40 or TI's OPA211/2211 before making any more daft comments like that. The world is analogue, not digital. Shall we now discuss the failings of A/D and D/A converters ? Graham

The Horn just got another award btw. That's 3 in 18 months. Adrian ( the owner ) has congratulated me on my contribution. http://thehorn.co.uk/ Graham

You are just a luddite, an unemployable one at that who is angry that the audio world has gone digital while you and your analogue design skills have been left behind. Phildo |
