This may be a totally imbecile question but… if I take a mic pre that puts out line level ( I guess 1v to 1,3v to a reel to reel deck that wants to see -10db (0,3v 20k or more in ….without routing it all threw a mixer ) directly into the teac pre how would you go about. I think keeping the chains as short as possible is desired. I have few old pieces of gear and do not want to kill anything so I have to get the math around matching each component perfectly as I am pretty shure the pres need the 1v resistance to not fry over time. I want to connect some 70s altec stuff so … direct in threw pres and maybe bypassing or modding the pre cards and a seperate output mixer with comp and rev etc. could be desirable. It is that direct connecting that bothers me . As for finetuning specially drums the volumepot of the inputcards is pretty useful so what ways would you go ? Transformers maybe ? Then again I need to measure and do the math. It is a low tech fixed recordingsetup that way and normal people would route it all but then I would be going threw like three pres in. I want to drive things hard especially for drums on the way in and the mixerstage makes no sense to me . So I rather need 6 to 8 inputs that are line level for not always plugging things too crazy …
