This impedance talk confuses me, but I'm trying to get through it.
I just acquired a Zoom R16 for fun/mobile recording, etc. I'm looking to record my weekly gig which runs out of an Allen and Heath Mixwiz 16. I also have this very same board at home. At my place, I take direct outs from the Allen and Heath into my Lynx Aurora at +4 (according to the Lynx). When I tried to record at the venue, the direct out signals from the board were too hot for the Zoom, the clip light was constantly flashing. I know I can go through and take all the gains down on the board, to make sure the signal is just right for the Zoom. However, a lot of that gain is necessary to power the board, get strong levels, etc. Is there a device or way to handle some sort of conversion? I'm thinking Fostex 5030, but if anyone has ideas, I'd love to hear them. Thanks
