welcome fellow canuck,
all the info you're after is searchable on this board but I'll give you some quick answers.
- rears are more appropriate for board feed as they provide the sometimes required attenuation. front goes from unity to +50 with no opportunity to cut a hot signal
- most boards in the kitchener/waterloo area are just gonna have 1/4" unbalanced outputs so there is no benefit in running XLRs
- run the mic(s) to the front input, board to the rear - that way you can adjust gain on each source independently. The output will be mixed on the fly, no chance to redo it later (unless you're doing two mono channels).
- stock opamps are 4570s
Dear Dave,
Hello, and thanks for the help!
Yes, I'm currently recording to HiMD (PCM, 94min per disk). I'm thinking of using the UA5 with a laptop for now. Maybe later to a NJB3 or another hard drive recorder.
