Wow that's a mighty complicated subject! thanks for all the information sweetbeats. i think i understand must of it but my knowledge of electricity is pretty lacking so i temd to go with the "if it ain't broken don't fix it" mantra. I might do it just for the safety reasons you have mentioned...

All that goes out from the mixer is 2 conductors electricity cable. Not sure tho if the grounding should be connected to the circuit grounding of the power supply PCB? Or connecting grounding to the chassis would have same results?

iv'e got the title wrong.. i am using the m512. it has internal power supply

Alright! Yup. only 2 prongs. i have some outboard gear and cassette multitrack tapes, and also hybrid setup to PC, it's all connected and i never had noise problems..but maybe it's time to do something about it. does it have to do something with the way i will choose to wire the cables? I...

so at the tascam side - cable sleeve to ground, conductor 2 also to ground ,conductor 1 to signal. at the otari side - sleeve to ground, conductor 2 not connected , conductor 1 to pin 3. that's what you mean? btw and i guess it had to do something with what you are saying - my tascam has no...

that makes absolute sense. i will go with the rca to xlr snake. thanks for your time.

Thanks Sweetbeats for your informal reply! Regarding the actual cabling - i have a bunch of quality RCA's, XLR's and VAN DAMME wiring 2-conductor cable, so as far as the materials required i have it all. i am more concerned about the right level-matching etc. man, the 1980'! you had to know...

Hello fellows! I had the chance to grab the OTARI MX5050 MKIII-4 earlier this week. i paid 500$ for it and got 2 tape reels too, not too bad. It plays and record well on all tracks. heads feels pretty neat. cant wait to work the first project on it! I will be glad to get some info from your...

thanks!!

Hey guys I am running a hybrid setup here, the M512 into Tascam 238 and A&H ICE16D to DAW. Gain matching between the 512 and 238 is pretty smooth and well. But if i would record the same signal to DAW i would end up with a fairly week signal. So i find my self cranking up the gain on the input...

Yup, i also noticed that the right channel (or, the channel not being used for recording) is more buzzy, but it is also noticeable on the left channel. it does not show up without any signal connected . but it's buzzing either way - via the mixer or simply mic into porta02. it seems to be more...

Greetings I use the porta02 on my studio, mainly as a sketchbook for various demos. But the last week i have been recording this local band for 4 days using primarily the porta 02 .during the last day, re-recording bass track, i noticed some buzzing issue i never encountered before. I thought...

thanks to the balanced outs of the M-512, it is a perfect match to the ICE16D in's. the issue i am dealing with is the exact opposite - Taking the balanced outs of the ICE16D and getting 'em back to a console that lacks balanced line level inputs. Do you recommend to use the psuedo-balanced...

What do you mean by pseudo balanced out? Yes the mixer does have (unbalanced) direct outs. Actually, the only balanced out's/in's the M512 has are the (12) mic preamps inputs and the (8) balanced amp outputs - which every unbalanced output on the mixer can be routed to it. It's very much an...

Hey Dave. that indeed was the case if i had to regular version of the A&H ICE16 , but the one i bought is the balanced version. as the 238 lacks balanced i/o , i'm thinking of wiring it thru the mixer as i described
