current ears: usb-c > 1/8" stereo TRS > 2 x 1/4" mono TS > Yamaha HS7..
well, i might have spoken too soon. there's something really weird going on the the LR pan and St. Out LR. I'm loosing a bunch of the mix (vocals, bass, snare) when I'm panned to C, and then LR signals are are being sent to both L and R St. Out. It sounds so dumb to even type that.
I've got a stereo signal coming into the MixPre-6 via usb-c into usb-1 and usb-2, which are inputs to channels 3 and 4 (linked). St. Out L Output is Mix L and St. Out R is Mix R. Gain is Advanced.
When I pan the LR Mix to L16 via Ch 4 front knob (linked), I've still got signal coming out of both of my speakers but only seeing signal on L Mix (but now I can hear more of the mix! vocals, bass, etc, it's very selective, almost like extreme phasing). Same when I pan LR Mix to R16 via Ch 4 front knob (linked) I've got signal coming out of both speakers, but only seeing signal on R Mix.
Since my St. Out L and St. Out R Outputs are L and R respectively, I'm not sure why I've got signal coming out of both speakers when the LR Mix is panned both full L and full R.
one source (might have been mono) was completely cancelled out (silent!) when panned C. however when I panned L or R, I had sound in both speakers.
my Yamaha HS7 have balanced XLR TRS input, and I'm using balanced cables. I bought an adapter on amazon that's 1/8" male stereo TRS hooked into the MixPre-6 St. Out output > 2x1/4" female mono TS , then I'm using a 1/4" TRS to XLR cable to my HS7s. obviously, Ideally I'd have LR balanced outputs on the MixPre-6, but that's not going to happen. I can't imagine there would be anything wrong with going unbalanced > balanced, that would be causing these strange issues. what am I missing?
