Topic: Cables for soundboard recordings?

[willndmb]

There's a good reference for SBD patch cables here:

those are the same cables/adapters i have
depending on what the input on your recorder is you just change the one end from 1/8 > _

I patched into the SBD for Ryan Adams last Monday here in Columbus.  They have 4 Sets of XLR males at tapers disposal.  I left my R-09HR there unattended and had no issues.  The soundguy with Ryan Adams was very nice and helpful.  He said just pick 2 XLR outs and patch in.  No issues what so ever.

Here's my source

Yes go line in.  I don't recall what "unity" is on the R-09 as it is different on my R-09HR, but I do know the signal wasn't too hot.  Just watch your levels for a few moments when the show starts and adjust accordingly.  Keep your peaks at around -6 and all should be good to go.

thanks for the info, i'll see how things pan out. for some reason i remember someone posting somewhere in another post that unity is 8 on the r-09. if anyone can confirm i would appreciate it.

I used to own a R-09.  I'm not sure if the unity was every 100% verified.  I was thinking it was in the 8-13 range.

Looks like Roland says 13 is unity.
