I know I've already brought this up in another thread but the more I ponder it, the more it bugs me...
As far as I can tell, the 1/4" TRS "line-in" inputs on the MT can't take a consumer level line-in (-10dB?), let alone the +4dB level that many mixing desks will be putting out.
As I understand it from other postings here, this is because there is a constant +14dB of gain on the TRS inputs. So if you were recording from the desk you would have to first attenuate the signal in order to allow the MT to boost it? Doesn't sound like an ideal signal path to me.
And, given this, what's the point of the +27dB TRS boost option? Has anyone here ever had to use it?
I know that mic inputs that can't cope with a mic signal in the live setting are par for the course but a line-in that's been designed so that it can't take a line level just seems bizarre.
Is there any hope of a way this could be circumvented - either through firmware or a physical modification?
