Suck 'em and see!
Don't flame me for cross posting, I had this in the newbies section but it got burried.
I have a delta 1010 soundcard with balanced ins n outs. My mixer has balanced tape returns on XLR sockets. I have the tape returns conected with an 8 way xlr to balanced jack loom. Here's my problem.....
I want to add another 8 outputs but my budget won't stretch as far as another Delta 1010. I was going to buy at delta 410, 2 ins n 8 outs but the conectors are unbalanced RCA sockets.
could I get a loom somewhere that's male xlr to rca? and would this work, or do the signals have to be balanced because my tape returns are?
I know the idea of balanced cable it to eliminate hum/noise from the signal but this wouldn't be a very big cable run...2 meters would do it.
Is it advisable? will I notice a lot of quality loss? help please.
