Sorry Frank, I was out of town on business.

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?

I see no use for the adapters. The line output on the soundcard is either balanced 1/4" TRS or unbalanced 1/4" TS. That means you have two choices.
1. Cable with 1/4" TRS on one end and XLR on the other end.
2. Cable with 1/4" TS on one end and RCA on the other end.

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.

Your manual shows that you can select the output standard in software between the typical consumer nominal -10dBV (max input =~1.24vRMS) or pro level of nominal +4dBu (max input =~5vRMS). You would set this first depending on the type of preamp you have.
Then, just like any soundcard, during the soundcard calibration you adjust the wave output level and set the input level. You have a manual adjustment on the input level laballed Input Gain. You will need to adjust it to the correct line level (as shown on the REW VU meters during the process). It will be much clearer once you give it a try.

Must the jumper have TRS plugs? I ask because I have a jumper with TS connectors.
|
No, you can certainly use 1/4" TS interconnects. The signal will simply be unbalanced. That's fine.
edit: BTW, that's a serious soundcard. What is your application other than REW?
