I’m not to crash hot on the whole balance, unbalanced, line and mic level thing. I’m sure I have balanced/unbalanced sorted but not how it all combines with line & mic levels and wiring.
Here’s what I need to do. I have a 442 and a Tascam Dr-60. I want to be able to record the 4 direct outputs to the Tascam which has 2 x XLR inputs and a 3.5mm jack for channels 3&4. So the variety of input types has sticked me up a bit.
The 2 x XLR inputs can be selected between line or mic.
The 3.5mm mini jack is/can only be unbalanced line level, correct?
So to get everything matching as best as possible I’ll need to change the 442 settings so that the outputs are line level.
The cables that take the 442 direct outputs 1&2 will be wired normally.
The cable that takes the 442 direct outputs 3&4 will be wired unbalanced, by floating pin-3. Does floating mean, not connecting, or other?
Have I got this right. Relevant manual images below.
Any help appreciated.
