You want a box with an instrument input and a line output. I second Dave's suggestion for an M-Audio AudioBuddy. I have one and it works great (I've seen them as low as $60US). It's a small, cheap, two-channel mic-pre with instrument (a.k.a. DI) inputs and line outputs (balanced, which should still work fine with the SB). Many single-channel mic pres also have instrument/DI inputs, like those ART tube units (as low as $30US). A regular DI with output a low impedance mic level signal, which would still not give you the output signal you want. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
