Speaking of the balanced inputs, I notice that Soundpros' MT adaptors use standard mono jacks:http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/SP-MICROTRACK-MINI-TRS#http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/SP-MICROTRACK-INTERFACEI'm presuming that there must be some issue with plugging an unbalanced cable into the TRS input but I'm not sure exactly how these things work - can anyone explain for me? As I understand it, the 'balancing' involves two out of phase signals, one of which is inverted at the destination. So if you plug a mono 1/4" jack into a balanced TRS socket, the same signal goes to both tip and ring components of the socket, one gets inverted and then they are added together = some sort of phase cancellation?If this is the case, (i) shouldn't clipping when using the MT's 1/4" inputs be less likely when using an unbalanced lead and (ii) why are Soundpros using the mono jacks?I'm really very confused now - someone please put me right...
