    Noob mic phantom power, cable, balun question

    I believe they used transformers to unballance because if the Mic has a transformer in it (SM 57/58 and many other Transformer Ballanced Dynamics) and you disconnect The negitive lead and just use Posistive and the Ground the Mic won"t work , with a transformer ballanced Mic both the negitive...

    Noob mic phantom power, cable, balun question

    Hi richard , I think you have it mixed up a bit , You loose signal when you plug a High impedance source into a Low impedance Amp ..... A High impedance Amp Needs very little current to drive it , Alternately a Low impedance source supplies much more current/Voltage than a high impedance...

    Noob mic phantom power, cable, balun question

    You should be fine with the mic the way it is , if your 3440 has an input impedance of 600 ohms and your standard moderm mic has something like 150 ohms output impedance then the match up isn"t really all that bad ...... A low impedance signal into a high impedance input isn"t a really a...

    More than 8 xlr input interface

    Firewire is more than fast enough ..... Also Take into account that in a Lot of cases you can not use 2 different interfaces at the same time, some interfaces will let you run more than one of the same interface but not 2 different interfaces , so there is a good chance you won"t be able to use...

    More than 8 xlr input interface

    I think they are saying that you can link another Moto through the firewire but it would be cheaper to use the ADAT on the Moto with a ADA8000 to add another 8 preamp channels , an ADA8000 will only run you about $200 .....
