Title: Mk4 -> VMS -> T+mod UA5?
Post by: dgodwin on December 27, 2005, 08:02:44 PM

I'm still in transition with my gear, so I'm borrowing a different schoeps setup.  It's basically the same that I'm hoping to buy though.  I'll be borrowing schoeps mk4 -> KCY ->VMS box and the associated accessories.  Should I run this into the JB3 (line in) or toss the UA5 in front, and run that line in -> Optical -> JB3?  Thanks in advance for the advice!

toss the UA5 in front.  Depending on the VMS, you will have issues with balancing the channels since the RCA analog-in on the UA-5 is a ganged knob on the back (PIA to get to if it is in a gear bag).  have access to a SBM and a optical cable or an M1?  I'd go with that instead.

or could you run xlr in on the UA5 with phantom off?

I'll have BNC -> RCA, BNC -> XLR, and BNC -> 1/8th" cables, so I could do any of the options.  I could get a sbm-1 probably, but no optical cable.
