Topic: Plug in active/passive bass guitar to Analog In
Looking at the ADI-2 Pro FS R BE.
What would be the drawbacks, or is it even possible, without a pre-amp, to plug in an instrument directly into one of the analog in ports (Mono TS Plug)? It is an active/passive guitar pickup in which the "active circuit" can be switched on or off, adding (wild, random assumption) ~10dB increase in signal level when on.
Also, looking at the Analog -In ports, it is stating that they are combo ports that can accept both XLR and TRS or TS plugs. I am confused as looking at the back of the unit, it looks like you can only plug in a TRS/TS plug. Is there an "adapter" in the socket, that gets removed if wanting to use XLR cables for analog in?
Thank you for your help!
