... i like what i've heard about the m audio dmp3 mic preamp, and am wondering if i would have a problem running out of the balanced outs on the pre to the unbalanced ins on my audiophile 24/96 card using a quality 1/4 inch to rca cable?
thanks-jv

;) No,no sex here,it was ment to atract your attention as i need some help guys. . ;)

I'm building my budget to my new forth coming studio.
My main interest would be working in logic environment and producing electronic music(using synths,softsynths,samplers and plugins).

Can someone explain the whole balanced/unbalanced thing to me? I don't think I'm quite understanding it. What is balanced? What is unbalanced? What is each type of connection used for?

thank you,
Nick

Hi guys..and Gals if there's any in here.

Hello,
I understand that going from a balanced piece of gear to an un-balanced piece results in a drop of 6 decibles. In this case Mackie balanced outs to HHB Cd Recorder un-balanced RCA ins.

Hello.

I don't mean to bring up an elementary topic, but can someone go into an explanation of Balanced vs Unbalanced inputs/cables and what the difference is? For example, I am going to try to patch my 24 channel mixer to a bay but I am not sure what cables to use and if it will make a difference at all.

I appreciate everyone's comments.

Thanks,
Michael

Let's say I have a mixer w/ unbalanced i/o and another piece of gear w/ balanced i/o and they're both connected in both ways ins and outs. Is there any way to transform the unbalanced signal into balanced? If yes, how should it be done and pricewise does it worth to be done in many channels?
