I've searched for a while now, and I can't find the answer to this question (maybe I just didn't do it right). I have a TASCAM M-520 mixer, which is a -10dbv board. I've been saving some money, and I found a great deal on a UA 2-1176 and I really want to get it. However, I can't determine what I am going to need to match this +4dbu piece of gear with my -10dbv mixer/other equipment. Most of the stuff I found related to DAW setups, and all of that stuff has switchable input/output levels.
Since I'm not easily going to be able to send a +4dbu signal out of my mixer (or any of my other equipment - RNC, old graphic eq's, space echo, etc.), what would you guys do to "convert" a -10dbv signal to a +4dbu signal - and back again - for (easy) use in a rack? Does that make sense/is that right? Is this going to cause problems? I've heard that this will cause more noise... Is that right? Am I missing something really obvious here?
