wouldn't you want to go XLR so they lock in the back of the unit?  oh, wait...

that was quite the brick knockdown, so yer saying i shouldget a psp-3?? ::)i think i like the psp-3better too

You want mono RCA>1/4 unbalanced.

I personally  would go RCA > XLR.

>>the inputs on the mme are some kind of bizarre universal input, i know they can accept 1/4"...wouldn't it be better to go rca to 1/4, rather than rca to xlr?<<

NOOOOOOOOOOO

not on the minime.  the 1/4 input on the minime *cannot* take that hot a signal.  it'll get all distorted.  from a pre you'll need the xlrs

[marc0789]

yeah, the 1/4 Hi-Z is a MUCH hotter input than the xlr, it's designed for instrument plug in. You're stuck with the xlrs.

[marc0789]

they don't lock, but the xlrs don't come out unless you want 'em to. As for the coax, call Oade Brothers and buy an aes>coax female for 13 bucks. That's right, 13 bucks. Any pro deck should be able to handle the aes, d8 or d100 will give you the scms message.

maybe im missing something, but why would I need that?   The 248 has coax outs and then  I would be going XLR into the minime

[goose]

That would be for the output from the minime to your deck Kevin.  Others were saying the coax out of the minime is shaky, and the AES cable uses an XLR connection, and the cable discussed above basically converts the AES XLR to coax with a sturdy connection at the back of the minime.

HTH

[Kevin]

so are you saying to get a cable that has 2 male coax>1 AES? (the minime has an AES/EBU on the back

[goose]

No.  The AES is a single XLR output and the cable being talked about goes single XLR to coax.  Just like a regular coax, but taking as pro signal (AES) and "dumbing" it down to 75ohm coax.

You will still need the dual RCA to dual XLR to go from 248 to minime.  The AES is for output only, no input.

Am I increasing the confusion, or the clarity of the issue?  I'm not sure...

[Kevin]

well maybe, so ok I need two cables correct? (Coax>XLR) I take those and run coax out of the 248 and XLR into the minime? whats the deal with the AES then?
