Someone please correct me if I am wrong. With kcy nbobs I can run PFAs into the mic inputs. But if I want to avoid that bulk and power the Schoeps by IPA or Nbox, I run the risk of clipping the 1/8 line input due to the low max input. So I'd need to get a 1/8 to dual xlr or xlr to dual xlr cable?
MM,
Maybe I am misunderstanding this comment ^, but unless there are 2 other sets of mics in the mix, to run the mics into 5/6 (1/8 trs) is to not use the kashmir preamps which are only on inputs 1,2,3 and 4, which of course is the big reason for using the mixpre 3 or 6 to begin with.
You're right, I'd want to run the IPA just to power the mics and run mic in. Can't do that with the nbox I don't think.
Do you have RCA to XLR cables? If so just run RCA out of the Nbox into the XLR on the MP6 channels 1-4. Just turn phantom off. Works fine for me
