Emax

I believe balanced output has a true ground and thusly less noise

Not sure what phase reversal would do, but might affect harmonics or create a noise cancellation

The 2 things I like about the Emax/Emax 2 are the many outputs that can be processed separatelty, and the limited limited amout of sampling memeory results in focusing on the best sample possible.

                  Thanks, 



The correct Y-cable works, of course. I had no idea that that was how balanced outputs work, so hence the error.

Hello Daniel,



I would say the output of your soundcard is balanced TRS, where the

  tip and ring carry the same mono signal but with inverted polarity.

  However, the Emax II sampling input uses the tip and ring of the TRS

  plug as unbalanced left and right signals. So when you sampled in

  stereo you were not getting stereo, just normal and inverted mono

  signals. If you want to sample in stereo with your present cable then

  try plugging into a stereo TRS output like a headphone socket.

  Otherwise you will need a Y adapter plugged into the Emax II sampling

  input so you can connect it to separate left and right unbalanced mono

  signals.



Regards,



Tristan
