Ian,
Wow that is some new information. I had no clue that the xlr output is intended to feed into a preamp.
in my case I am feeding into my Korg Kronos where I want to apply some effects, from there into my camera to sync it with the video.
I do have a Fireface 400 preamp, and the camera also provides phantom power.
The Korg unfortunately not. So I guess I should go into my Fireface 400 first then Korg, then camera?
Or use 1/4 directly to my Korg?
I haven’t understood the difference between preamp and amplifier to be honest.
thanks for your help!
