Audio quality is perfect. Just one thing to be aware
of:
the first two analog outputs are REALLY balanced, i.e. you
get two antiphase signals on pins 2 and 3 of the XLR.
Which means that to connect to an unbalanced input you
need a non-standard cable, leaving pin 3 unconnected.
And strangely enough, analog inputs 3 and 4 (on TRS) are
*not* balanced.
Well, I did buy the Babyface Pro, and it looks like it's going to work
well. I am wondering what to do about the balanced outputs you
mentioned though.
I want to connect one of the balanced XLR outputs to an unbalanced TS
input jack on an Ensoniq DP4 effects processor. I'm almost sure that
any premade XLR-TS cable I buy will have the ground pin connected, since
that's usually considered good.
I currently already have a lot of XLR-TRS fully balanced cables with me
though. If I simply disconnect the sleeve connection at the TRS end of
one of them, will that work? What do I really have to do to connect
this output to a TS jack correctly?
