Keep the cord from your instrument to the direct box as short as you can and make up the rest of the run with a balanced XLR cable. Some DIs offer ground-lift switches, which can break ground loops, another source of hum. Finally, many pro-oriented DIs require power, supplied either by phantom power from the mixer or an internal 9V battery.</span><br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">

My plan is to use them for tracking into the daw and then on the master bus out of the daw for some pre-mastering/mastering type applications.

So I got 20ft balanced xlr to trs cables for the in/out on each. Anyone think this length might be an issue? I have read technically there shouldn't be any issues but wanted to see if anyone had any opinions since this is my first foray into super high end. <br class=""><br class="">Thx,<br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">music-bar mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:music-bar@lists.music-bar.org" class="">music-bar@lists.music-bar.org</a><br class=""><a href="http://lists.music-bar.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/music-bar" class="">http://lists.music-bar.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/music-bar</a><br class=""></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><span class="">_______________________________________________</span><br class=""><span class="">music-bar mailing list</span><br class=""><span class=""><a href="mailto:music-bar@lists.music-bar.org" class="">music-bar@lists.music-bar.org</a></span><br class=""><span class=""><a href="http://lists.music-bar.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/music-bar" class="">http://lists.music-bar.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/music-bar</a></span><br class=""></div></blockquote></div>_______________________________________________<br class="">music-bar mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:music-bar@lists.music-bar.org" class="">music-bar@lists.music-bar.org</a><br class="">http://lists.music-bar.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/music-bar<br class=""></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></body></html>
