Topic: babyface pro - input/output various questions
Hi,
I find the manual overwhelming in the part of the inputs/outputs.
Questions:
1)To switch between line and inst input in inputs 3 and 4, do i have only to manipulate gain giving more gain to instrument input and less to line input?
2) (related to question 1) ANd what about the high impedance of the inst input? Is it related to gain so i don't have to care?
3) To connect babyface pro to speakers do i have to use xlr to ts cable? In the maunal page 8 says "The short circuit protected, low impedance XLR line outputs do not operate servo balanced! When connecting unbalanced equipment, make sure pin 3 of the XLR output is not connected. A connection to ground might cause a decreased THD (higher distortion) and increased power consumption! " What do i have to do to not connect pin 3?
4) In the same page it says "The Babyface Pro has two analog microphone inputs that can operate as line inputs with levels up to +19 dBu, when set to 0 dB gain and PAD active. The electronic input stage [...] .When using unbalanced cables with the XLR inputs pin 3 of the XLR jack should be connected to ground. Otherwise noise may occur, caused by the unconnected negative input of
the balanced input." If i would like to connect my yamaha synth with unbalanced outputs to one of the 2 two xlr inputs, what do i have to do? use an intermediary passive di box with ground lift?
Thank you
