Another Nak thread
Been searching around, and I haven't seen this addressed anywhere. Ran my old Nak 300's a few time with regular XLR cables into a two XLR>1/8" male cable into channels 3-4 on the DR60. Levels were so low it wasn't funny.
Picked up some new 300's in the YS and I'm going to run them with the DR70. This got me thinking: the original cable that came with these terminates into a 1/4' phone plug, which I believe that the DR70 will also accept. I know they originally came with this connector because they were designed to plug into a mixer or tape deck, but is there any advantage to running a cable like this into a modern recorder? Balanced vs. unbalanced or anything like that? Any insight is appreciated.
