Hi all - I have searched for this on-line and in this forum - but apologies if it has been covered before.
So the Pod GO outputs at line level - the manual and everywhere on-0line says 'use a balanced male jack to male XLR cable to connect to your mixer.' So thats the cable I bought - however, my mixer assumes (not unreasonably) mic inputs to be mic level and jack inputs (which it can receive balanced or unbalanced) to be line level - it has no mic/line switch.
So I have two options - 1) reduce, attenuate the signal going into the mixer (maybe even use a DI box) 2) use a balanced Jack cable
I'm sure both will work -I'd prefer option 2 (marginally simpler, less to worry about when setting up for a gig - tiny thing I know but these things all add up in 'pre-gig set up stress'!) - but the given the 'standard' seems to be 'convert to XLR' (like - nobody mentions using jack-jack at all...)I was hoping somebody could either tell me - 'don't worry about it - just use a jack cable!' or 'yes you should use the XLR option for this reason'
I know the obvious reply might be 'just try both and see what happens' but my first real opportunity to set up the PA and properly find the right live sound with the pod go (its replaced my traditional pedal board) will be at my next gig, and as above, the less to worry about in gig set-up the better...
Thanks in advance
