So Mono basically...good to know, that would have sucked :lol: As far as an attenuator, is an adjustable one, like this, prefferable?

Every board patch I've gotten has required female XLR.

I've got a kit for my 3.5MM input recorders with adapters - RCA male to 3.5 MM male cable, with XLR to RCA converters, and 1/4" to RCA converters. I also keep an attenuation cable on hand since a lot of board feeds come in hot. If you have something like this, you're more or less prepared for any circumstance.
If I know the venue and equipment, I skip all that and just bring the correct cable.

I used a 25db pad, but yes, that's the idea. Some folks have told me they just run line-in and haven't had any issues, but I've yet to be so lucky.

Yeah, you are correct. I pulled mine out last night, this is it. I'm one of those line in people who has never used an attenuator. Probably just been lucky

I'm trying to figure out how that would connect to a SBD...wouldn't I need a male adapter?
