Component capture question

[Jeremy Garchow]

Hmmm, the manual mentions the consumer level as +12. That’s what I was thinking of and I think that should help in the level boost.

You’re still stuck with the fact the inputs to the HD10AVA are balanced XLR connectors.
Unless you have a pro camera, the outputs are always RCA unbalanced.

Something like the Matchbox from Henry Engineering would take the unbalanced low level
from the RCA outputs and provide the high level balanced XLR outs suitable for the LH.

you don’t need the Henry matchbox. The HD10AVA has dip switches to compensate for the -10dB inputs. You just need the correct RCA to XLR cable to get into the HD10AVA (or a small mixer). Don’t turn this into rocket science. Get some cables from Martertek, and be done with it. You aint’ gonna solve this at Radio Shack.

Hey Bob,

Gotta trust the madman in you for the most sane advice. All too true, thanks!
