Thanks for your response, db.Your final comment had me thinking:
>I'll post results from the chart later. One question, are the mixers
>out's balanced also?I just pulled out my Mixers manual and it reads that the mixer's Main outs (I'm not around my mixer to confirm this but) The Stereo outputs are all on a pair of unbalanced jacks (1/4") nominal output level of +4dBu. I do have a pair of Balanced XLR Main outputs (read to connect to the mastering recorder). Wired pin1 ground, pin2 hot, pin 3 cold. Maximum Level is +28 dBu. (before I ask my question read on)
Now my manual on the Samson Servo 550 Amplifire reads: The inputs are electronically balanced 1/4" TRS jacks. (I'm now trying to find what gave me the idea that it required a +4 dBu output level- and can only attain that to something in the manual that read: Apply an input signal to the amp at or about +4 dBu - if sending from a mixer set at 0 vu). So I'm assuming this means I'm not using the proper Main outs.
Now my question is: I have Balanced XLR Main Outs on my mixer and Balanced 1/4" inputs on my Servo 550 Amp - Are there balanced cables that go from Balanced XLR to Balanced 1/4"? I feel it's better to ask then to make an ass of myself and assume to just grab any wires for connection. I thought those XLR-1/4" TRS cables were for people with XLR mics and a mixer that didn't have XLR jacks. I appreciate the help!
Thanks!
