So what I gather is this modification converts unbalanced -10dBv to balanced +4dBu. Am I correct?
Unfortunately I live in Australia so it would be hard to ship it over to the states and have Forat or whoever to implement the mod.
Has anyone tried or attempted to do this mod themselves?
Would be great to learn a thing or two, if anyone had more information, DIY'ers unite.

I don't think the MPC3000 outputs -10dB. The service manual says 6 dBm, which I think is equivalent to 6 dBu. Shouldn't be too hard to make it balanced I believe the 1/4" jacks Akai used are already balanced jacks, the third ground pin just isn't connected to anything.
