Ordered used soundcraft mixer because it's small and didn't like the new ones. Trying to get cables for it before it gets here. Manual's a bit weird. Shows too many cable types for comprehension. I know these questions are supposed to be figured out by thinking about them but one thing is bugging me.
There's 2 mono channels. Each has a XLR/TRS combo jack. Mics are XLR, line in are TRS. They have inserts, EQ etc. I want to plug the vocal mic that needs 48v on XLR on one channel and a line out for guitar from my pedalboard on the the other channel. I'd need a special TS to TRS psudo-balanced cable but I found one. The pedalboard has a mixer send thats about +10 dBu with it's gain at 1/2 so I want to use the mono line in on the Comp-4 since it can take more juice than the phono inputs. But the manual says "Unplug any mic connection when using the Line input." I figured the manual was loopy since the line and mic share the same combo jack and can't be used at the same time but I guess they mean on either one of the mono channels. Maybe it has to do with the phantom power being on both mic jacks when it's on. Anybody got one or know about it? Compact 10 as about the same. Tried Soundcraft forum but got discouraged. Hope the C-4 can play well with H-6 (as recorder and interface), MPC, synth etc.
The manual if anybody cares. Warning it's 48 pages and confusing
