yes, this going from balanced to unbalanced and back again is enough
to make a guy go screaming in to the night.
As you can see,
what with makers doing stuff so inconsistantly, this problem whouch
should be solved in 2010 isn't, well atleast everyone mostly agrees
that pin 2 is hot now 'grin'.
My buddy who ran a recording studio in the 80s and 90s, and is
ramping up to do it again had the first adam digital machines
recording on hi 8 tape, and he says their wiring scheme was
completely diferent.
So I guess unless your going to be using lots of expensive
isolation transformers on everything unbalanced, experimentation and
a good understanding of the documentation, if it exists,
is the only way to determine what's really best for your gear.
Probably lots of new gear has that chip they talked about,
and something that would sense your wiring and try to pick optimum hookup
is probably the best way to go, unless it made a mistake, you'd
definitely want a way to control or over-ride it.
God, I wish we could just do away with unbalanced gear, would solve
the whole fricking nightmare.
But that ain't gonna happen.
So for now folks, buy them there good direct boxes with good
isolation transformers 'grin'.
Or be johnny on the spot with a soldering gun.
Because there just ain't one good answer.
