Steinberg MR816CSX sa externim preampom

[DigitalMan]

...ne znam da li si upoznat sa studijskim "pacth poljem" i načinom na koji funkcioni?e, naime patchbay mo?e biti normal ili half-normal, gde insertovani jack ili "breaks the signal flow" ili ako je samo do pola "splits the signal flow", pa je moguće da ubacivanjem d?eka samo na pola, ustvari zaobilazi? preamp...

"One thing to be aware of is that many of this generation?s I/O boxes and even mixing consoles that have built-in mic preamps (and most do, at least for some of the input channels) don?t have switches to select mic or line input for the channels. This is one of the design compromises that makes these gadgets so affordable. Some use XLR-TRS combo jacks, allowing
you to plug in either a mic or line level source, but there?s only one hole so
you can?t have both connected and switch between them. Others have separate connectors for mic and line inputs, but connecting to one disables or cripples the other. This can be a real nuisance in a complex setup and unfortunately it?s something for which a patchbay can provide only a partial solution. Consider how you most frequently make use of the inputs you have. If you never use more than two mic inputs on
your I/O box because you have a bunch of outboard preamps, then connect six line inputs to your patchbay and use the other two
channels for the mic inputs. Or it could be the other way around"

Hope it helps!
