Searching for the best results of the recording signals, I connected the unbalanced outputs (1/4") and the balanced outputs (XLR) of my POD HD500X to a mixer. All the inputs of the mixer where set to line-inputs. I have got a huge difference of the output-volume. The fader of unbalanced outputs was on 30% and the fader of the balanced outputs on 100% for the same volume. Additionally there ist noise within the balanced signal, even if it is set on lift. Is this normal? What am I doing wrong? I thought the balanced outputs where the best for recording because of its technique.
