Milkbone Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The DI on the Spider IV is really a STEREO headphone out.. We were running it direct into the mixer for gigs (1/4") and it sounded pretty good but something just wasn't right.... Unless your taking the signal out of the DI with a TRS "Y" splitter and running 2 separate signals to either 2 separate channels (or a stereo input) on the mixer, you're only getting half of the sound (it is stereo)... It's VERY, VERY BAD to combine a stereo signal into 1 with a "Y" cable http://www.rane.com/note109.html (good read) so we tried one of these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/160658-REG/Hosa_Technology_TRS_202_Stereo_1_4_Male_to.html Into one of these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=333335&Q=&is=REG&A=details and out to the mixer/snake via XLR.... WHAM!!! The sound was there,, all of it... Full, big and cutting. Try it,,, You'll like it!!! PS... I sprung for one of these to add versatility (can run IPod to PA and have a COMBINED mono signal.. http://www.rolls.com/product.php?pid=DB14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
