MOTM

Yes, Not all impedance matching transformers and direct boxes are created
equal.  I certainly didn't mean to imply they were unacceptable (as a
passive way to achieve balance to unbalance conversion).  However, the
active method seem to be more the norm in better stuff (probably true in
that Mackie too).  I need to go check out Tony's new schematics.  :)

Ok time for a redesign...

All modules will now be 8U high and will be patched together using XLR
cables...

Just Kidding...

I've been using a cheap Whirlwind Director to send my MOTM signal to my
mixing board (mostly because the MOTM levels were tohot for my mackie
mixer even with the trim all the way down) besides giving me a little
more control of the volume, I haven't noticed any change in tonal color
or any distortion, in fact it actually sounds a little cleaner. -Nate
