Topic: iRiver H120 for Soundboard recording

[tod3sschu3tze]

hi guys!
i always appreciate your help and got great results with your advice.
soon i have the chance to tape a show with the soundboard.
my friend who managed this for me, told me, the soundboard output is a simple 6,3mm jack.
so i need such an adapter from 3,5mm to 6,3mm (attached).
has anybody done a sbd recording with that gear yet?
what about record level and gain? just checking while soundcheck/beginning of the show?

thanks in advance!

Is the 1/4" (6,3mm) connector mono or stereo?  It's probably mono, but find out for sure, or buy both adapters.

As for setting levels/gain, it all depends on the level of the feed you receive.  Just check at the start of the show, make necessary adjustments, and away you go.

alright, thank you.
when i want to save money and i only buy the stereo adapter, but the signal is mono, i only hear left OR right channel, right?
should be no problem to edit this later

[Ryan Sims]

Well it's the only channel, but it will sound on the left, I think.

hi guys!
the soundboard taping went out great! really excellent quality, i had just to adjust the level gain.
and yeah it was mono, but as you know its not a problem to extend it on both channels (you are right, ryan, it was the left one).
the bands were from hardcore/metalcore genre:
die for my paradise
ebon wings
the fall of eden
one bullet left
butterfly coma
machinemade god
fear my thoughts

so thank you for your advice!

Is there any way to record a stereo recording from the SBD to a H120?

I read it from the begining, and this issue wasn't resolved.  No need to be a dick dude I was just asking a question.  Thanks for the help though, I do appreciate it =)
