i'm forever and ever looking for a board.
Now i've found this tascam m3500 which looks great for me except one
thing, it is a -10 console and my recorder (tascam atr60-16) works balanced at +4dbu! What's your experience?
A guy at Tascamforums.com suggested that it needs just more gain when the signal is feeded to the recorder and when comes back to the mixer he told me that i could build some cables (or a patchbay) with resistors in it.
here is a page:

I know tascam made a kit with sub-d connection to make tepe returns balanced but not the direct outs (maybe because, like the guy at tascamforums.com said, just need more gain?)
would useful to check if the impedance of both gears match?
great greetings!

Are you sure there isn't another set of unbalanced outputs? Other tape machines that they made had both options.

sub-d
otherwise i found on the manuals that a short circuiting between Pin 1 (ground) and Pin 2 (cold) would change the OUTPUTS to accomodate unbalanced cables, maybe you know better then me and all of the fucking manuals
a question: a 25 sub-d cover 8 xlr connections, in a sub-d there are 8 pin for ground, 8 for hot and 8 for cold?

Those d-sub connectors are -10dBu, unbalanced right?

oh sorry i edited my reply
no, they say nominal level is +4 regardless of the type of connectors (xlr or d-sub)

i'm going to bed
p.s.
Greg you could answer to my other post about my +4 and -10 perplexity
Good nuts
