Been a while...back at the studio and we have a lovely Hairball Audio 1176 that a good friend built for us. I'm just routing it up and have a question: Can I take the output of the 1176 which is XLR and take it into one of the 1/4 inch (3,4,5) channels? As you know, the 1176 is a one channel compressor. What I will be doing is taking my microphone into my Sytek preamp > 1176 > VS1680. My two XLRs channel 1 and 2 are occupied with drum overhead mics and I want to use the 1176 for the bass drum mic into one of the 1/4 inch channels. Is it as simple as getting an XLR to 1/4 cord? So I need something else? I don't want to fry anything! TIA for any wisdom you may be able to provide! Happy NY from SW Michigan!

You may even be able to use an unbalanced mic cable (female xlr to 1/4" ts male plug), though it would be an unbalanced cable and possibly prone to hum, or external interference more so than a balanced cable would. _________________________ uptildawn

Can't wait to hear how the HA 1176 sounds plugged in... Happy 2023...:-) _________________________ Using my original VS 1680 27 years now and counting!
