i'm trying to loop a tc helicon voicetone synth, it's output levels are as follows:
Main Output Connectors Balanced XLR
Output Impedance 40 Ohm
Output Level +2dBu @ 0dBFS
with a XLR to 1/4" jack cable plugged from the voicetone into my iRig, which is obviosly plugged into the headphones jack on my iphone 3g.
my iRig input doesn't play nice with either this, or just a regular mic with the same cable straight into the iRig - both distort quite a bit.
is this what i need to get the input to sound right?
http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/k ... rs-a22.htmor is this one more likely to work?
http://www.griffintechnology.com/produc ... ar-connectthe griffin guitar connect promises to work with "keyboards". the kvconnection XLR line level promises to work with "line level" devices, like mixers i suppose. is 40 Ohm +2dBu @ 0dBFS keyboard level, line level, or neither? if plugged the voicetone into my roland gp-6 fx unit, would that change things? i suppose it would.
the gt-6 is:
INPUT: -10dBu
RETURN: -10dBu
Input Impedance
INPUT: 1M ohms
RETURN: 220k ohms
Nominal Output Level
OUTPUT: 0dBu
SEND: -10dBu
Output Impedance
OUTPUT: 2k ohms
SEND: 2k ohms
i tried plugging the voicetone into the gt-6, but that also seems to send a signal the iRig doesn't like, it comes out all quiet but distorted. what setup should i be using for this?
thanks for your help!
ps. my dj rig accepts the tchelicon voicesynth as a microphone level input with it's cheap builtin mic preamp. it's possible it's sending out some kind of mic level signal? what kind of input device might i use if that were so?
pps. i've got access to a cable shop, they can make custom cables there with various inputs, outpus, wirings, connectors etc. dunno if they can do impedance related stuff there though...
