Very nice Dustin 8)

Any reason for going with 1/4" TRS plugs instead of locking XLR's? I have right-angle stubby XLR's for my 70D and they are super low-profile AND lock into place! That VMS looks quite familiar lol 8) ;D +T

I'm going to get Robb aka DarkTrain to make me some straight BNC>Right-Angle Stubby XLR's for my VMS>70d setup, so thanks for the ideas everyone :) 8) I already have Gold Radio Shack BNC>RCA adapters, and then Straight & Rt-Angle RCA>Rt-Angle Stubby XLR's, but Id prefer the locking connectors of the BNC>XLR, so both ends are locked into place!

Really? Are you 100% positive about that? I could've sworn Tonedeaf used XLR Ins with his VMS/PSP3/etc ???

So Steve is definitely running Preamp>XLR>F8 ??? I thought that's what Ive been seeing 8)

I'm going to look through the manual real quick, but I believe you Dustin ;) Just odd that Zoom would do that?

EDIT: Yea, just saw the manual. I knew you were right Dustin, however, I wanted to see if they explained why? Doesn't seem to mention why after looking through! All I can say is that's strange that the line inputs are supposed to be on 1/4" inputs only ??? Wonder what is wrong with using the XLR's? 1/4" just have a higher input? Probably easier to clip the XLR inputs since their meant for a mic signal and not a line signal!

I wish i was knowledgeable enough about the f8 to answer those ?'s

I was skeptical about using 1/4" inputs. I like to run different outboard pres. But the chopped right angle 1/4" cables Ted made me cured that. Rock solid in my bag!

I wouldn't have a problem running the 1/4" plugs either. It is what it is! Just wondered if they mentioned why? But the line in is probably close to 50db hotter than the mic IN, at least that's how Sonosax setup their MIC/LINE inputs! Something like a 50db hotter/lower signal! If you have a SUPER hot preamp, it might brickwall the F8 XLR inputs? But the VMS is the hottest preamp Ive run, so if Steve is running VMS/PSP3/etc>XLR>F8, the XLR input can handle a pretty hot signal and you should have a hard time clipping it like that, if its even possible?

Thanks for the heads up though, Dustin! I had never known that about the F8 until reading your post this morning!
