The loopback cable will go from one of the line-out jacks. (it appears these can be set for typical consumer -10dBV or +4dBu pro level in the software setup). I don't know what you'll be feeding these with when you measure so I can't comment there, but in the soundcard calibrate you'll set this output standard and adjust the line-in level accordingly.
I will be going from the LINE OUTPUT to a preamp input that has both RCA inputs and XLR. I have the R.Shack#274-884 adapters so are they ok to use with the RCA inputs? What do you mean by "but in the soundcard calibrate you'll set this output standard and adjust the line-in level accordingly"? I thought during calibration I should not use the gain on the HI-Z line input.

Here's the bottom line. Get a cable with 1/4" TRS plugs on each end. Connect it between a line-out and A mic/line-in and do the soundcard cal routine. Remove this loopback connection and plug your mic with its XLR connector into the A mic/line-in and turn on the phantom power. Feed the line-out to your receiver.....

Must the jumper have TRS plugs? I ask because I have a jumper with TS connectors. Sorry if these are silly questions Bruce. I'll buy whatever it takes to do the job the correct way.
