Hooking up mixer & interface to Tascam 238

Hi guys,
I'm trying to hook up my Tascam 308 mixer to my Tascam 238 syncaset, then run each track back through the mixer for additional EQ, then go direct out of each channel strip (Tascam 308 allows you to do this) into a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 to bounce in Logic for effects and further editing. This is possible right? When using the direct outs on the mixer into the interface inputs, should I use TS or TRS cables? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
 
Direct outs on the 308 are 1/4" unbalanced TS connections @ -10dbV standard line level.

I don't know the specs on the Focusrite unit, but hopefully it has provisions for the lower unbalanced direct outs from the 308. If not, then you'll need a step up device like a TASCAM LA80 to bump up that signal out of the 308 to a +4db balanced signal.

Cheers! :)
