Re: advice on multicore cable for microtrack

Hey Dan , does the mt can handle line level with 1/8 pl mini ?
the input is hooked to the attenuation switch
so does it go liner level as well or just the 2 mike levels

you have to build 5v converter for the 12 v , , don't know what can it do
when you stuck it on the same power with unbalance lines , bad converter can
make noise .
about the ext powering , I think the best is make parallel connection to USB
bus ,small hole on the side and run ext connector
the internal battery sucks from what I red ,it doesn't last more then 50%
from what m audio advertised
the digi in cant accept 24/96
there is no monitoring at all on digital input
the recorder going down to off wile you change the media
the att switch is reversed
the phantom still exist on line input if its on - dangerous !!
