Howdy all,
I've built a pair of the V14 greens, and have been using them exclusively for stereo recording using the ShinyBox ribbon mics (a nice combo). Given that the same program material was always going thru both channels, I never noticed anything wrong, until...
Last night, I was using them for separate tracks for the first time: one, a bass(D.I) and the other a vocal. Both channels were going directly to my recorder, and I noticed that some of the signal from channel 1 ends up going to the output of channel 2, and vice versa. When I say "some of the signal" I mean maybe 25% of the original volume. I have trouble-shot the whole system, and narrowed it down to the pres. Any ideas?
Could it be a grounding issue? I star grounded it as per Peter C's personal instructions. I have wired the outputs to TRS, so that I could interface with both balanced or unbalanced gear. In this case, the soundcard I was going to was unbalanced, and I was using a single conductor 1/4" to RCA cable. Would this have caused this? Does the output need to see a balanced input on my recorder?
I'm stumped...noob style!
Any help would be much appreciated,
Jacob
