Hello world
I have a noob question, and I couldn’t find an answer searching on this forum.
I bought a Fireface UC audio interface, and I wanted to record some Rytm MK1 stuff through it.
I was wondering about which cables I should use.
Reading the manual I found those information:
"Individual drum voice outputs Use 1/4” insert/Y cable to access both voices of each output.
Main Out L/R. Use either 1/4” mono phone plug (unbalanced connection) or 1/4” (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) phone
plug (balanced connection).
Impedance balanced audio outputs: Main outputs level: +15 dBu
Output impedance: 440 unbalanced
Individual Outputs: Output level: +15 dBu
Output Impedance: 440"
I wanted to connect the main outs + BD/BT voices to the four rear LINE inputs (balanced) of the Fireface.
For what I understand, AR’s main outs provide balanced signals, and individual outputs unbalanced ones. Am I right?
I will use <6ft (<1.80m) cables.
Should I go for TRS balanced cables for the main outs + Y cable (TRS > to TS --> unbalanced cable? Am I right?) for the two others? Or will it cause different gains into the audio interface? Or should I simply use TS cables (x2 TS cables + Y cable) for everything?
Thank you for your help!
