Line level A-D converter recomendations

[F.O.Bean]

why not use your V3? If your line signal is hot you can enagage the internal -15db pads.

i used to use mine all the time like that, with the pads

are they -15db pads? i thought they were -20db pads

20 i believe

My bad. Just grabbed that number off the top of my head, I have never actually used the pads.

i couldnt remember exactly either, its been so long since i used em.

ive used them on a bunch of SBD patches archiving a local band, worked great

I haven't run my V3 that way yet but I certainly could. That is what I would use for taping a show from a sbd feed.

What I am looking for would mostly be used in the equipment rack I am putting together for when I am paid to do live sound and recording. I was originally thinking of something battery powered in the event I wanted to use it for taping off the board while also running my mics.

Good to hear that people have successfully used the v3 for  patchin out of a sound board.  Have you guys needed to use any attenuation other than the V3s build in pads?

v3 pads were def enough for all the sbd patches ive done

You could jump right into the deep end with one of these...

Couldn't have designed it better myself (except for the AC power issue...)

How about an Apogee AD-500?  They usually go for about $225 used and (IMO) sound great.  The only problem is that they are old and not easily repaired.
