A Behringer ADA8000 won't fit for the Delta 1010LT. But you could connect any piece of gear that provides a 2-channel digital output via S/PDIF to the co-ax inputs on the Delta. > Do you mean that a separate 2-channel mic pre-amp unit that converts A/D > (from the XLR to S/PDIF) would work with something like the 1010LT? > There are a few Mic Pre's or Mono/Stereo Channel strips equipped with a digital output or an option to buy an additional dig. out expansion. > If I do get a mixer, like the analog Yamaha MG166C, I'm guessing I can > get an extra pair of XLR cables and hook those 2 cords from the mixer > into the 2 XLRs on the 1010LT device. Or am I totally backwards? ;) > No, your straight forward. :D Myself I have a 1010LT as well, and I hooked a Behringer 2442FX-Pro mixer to it. The way I do it, is I connect the 'SUBGROUPS' 3 & 4 to the XLR inputs of the 1010LT, as this gives me a balanced connection. The rest of the I/O's are unbalanced, so I hooked the 'Direct Out' of the first 6 mixer channels to the other inputs of the Delta, for 6 Mono instruments or any combination of Mono/Stereo (through paired inputs) plus a Stereo stream through the Sub 3/4, where I could send any additional instruments as well if I need more than 6 Inputs on the mixer. This gives me 8 tracks to record to (or 4 stereo) Hope, this gives you some more ideas. > Thank you! :) > > Sean > You're welcome ;) -- ________________________________ "A mind is like a parachute - It doesn't work if it's not open." |- - - - - - - Frank Zappa - - - - - - -| _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
