Hey all,
I have recently been trying to put together a new monitoring setup for my "satellite" studio away from home. I am having some trouble getting things to work. Here's what I'm trying to do:
Output of M-Audio Profire 610 (Balanced) --> Adcom GFA-555 input (unbalanced) --> Yamaha NS-30T speakers
I have a couple TRS to RCA adapters that I plugged into the back of the Profire, and an RCA cable running to the Adcom. The output level is extremely low. I have to turn up the master volume on the profire to like 85% to get a listenable level. I understand that by going balanced to unbalanced I lose 6 dB, but this is just way too low of a signal to work with. What can I do??
If I send the signal to my Marantz 2230 and use the preamp out from it to feed the Adcom, I can get a nice signal - but I don't want to have to do this because 1. The Marantz is used for my living room sound stuff and 2. I am afraid of coloring the signal by introducing yet another piece of gear into my monitoring chain.
What do I need to do to interface the Profire with my Adcom amp??!?! Helppppp!
Thank you!!
