Re: BFD Hookup Question


Sorry, it was poorly phrased. Lack of sleep I guess. I didn't mean to say input/output levels. I read that it is best to use the input/ouput jacks that I will be using to measure with to calibrate the soundcard. So most people would just connect a RCA from the 1/8" input to the 1/8" output. However, since I am using XLR (mic) input and 1/8" out for measuring, I was wondering how important it was to use the ports I will be using for measurement. So do I really need to use the XLR/1/8" to calibrate my soundcard, or will I get a good enough measurement using the 1/4"out and 1/4" input, which I won't be using again for taking any measurements. I just happen to have the 1/4 to 1/4 cables to calibrate it this way, and I am not sure if I can find an XLR to RCA adaptor. I hope this helps. Thanks.
