Hi all!
Could someone very kindly explain/confirm what is going on here!:
Last year i built a dual calrec . In itself it works fine, I love it .
I originally had it hooked up to my soundcraft 2400 unbalanced patchbay , using some high quality xlr to bantham flying leads .
The input resitors r1 and r2 were 10K , but I wasn't experiencing the higher gain issue that most people were reporting.
Until now!
i have just finished wiring my new rack bays to the fx edacs on the 2400 , and been very careful to observe the correct procedures re screening . i.e attaching screen to the correct end , going from bal to unbal etc..
And now I get the 6db or so gain boost!
I am aware that 22k resistors are the solution , but my question is why did i not experience it when using flying leads?
The only thing i can think of is that the flying leads have the screen attache d at each end , and my permanant installation wiring doesn't .
That is truly the only thing different , but if it is that , then could someone explain how it works , please!?
Cheers
nEon.
