<div dir="ltr">Actually, I'm now seeing things like these are expecting a mic level XLR input... my board only does line level outputs (via XLR, or any output) - and consumer-grade cameras are expecting a mic level input, which makes sense, but that's not what my board can output....<div><br></div><div>The latest annoyance, er, I mean project, is streaming a live presentation through MediaCast, in case anyone knows what that is. (MediaCrap, as we call it.) Their streaming box has an 1/8" connection for audio, but no one yet has been able to figure out how to get it to use that jack, much less whether it's line level, or mic level. The camcorder that's plugged into the MediaCrap box has an 1/8" mic input, with un-controllable auto-gain and is completely unusable, with a professional sound board. <sigh></div><div><br></div><div> - Jon</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 13, 2023 at 1:43 PM Jon Ares <<a href="mailto:jonares@arescreative.com">jonares@arescreative.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">This would certainly solve one of the problems, for sure!

had a stereo isolation transformer box that had XLR balanced

Don't remember the brand. The isolation was important, a lot of
consumer gear isn't well grounded... if at all.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hey folks... drives me crazy when peoples need an
1/8" feed from our sound system, and I can't stand having to
come up with a kludge of buzzy adapters and sketchy cabling...
is there something out there that's like a PCDI box, but in
reverse? XLR in>1/8" mini out? Stereo or not - doesn't
bother me there. But I'm sick of lousy audio out to their crap
cameras or recorders, as they stare at us and wonder why the
audio is buzzy or crackly.... My main board is an Allen &
Heath, and we generally use the XLRs out, although there is a
couple of 1/4" outs, but I've not used them yet...
