warning, but I guess the moral of the story is don't put your plug where it
wasn't intended to go! I think I'll stick with XLR as that's what the desk uses,

long. Maybe you use higher quality jacks than us.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I'd agree with Alex - those USB 2 in 2 out 3m leads are great. Cheap as
chips, and don't need any special drivers, for windows or
Linux.<BR><BR></DIV>HOWEVER, I'd recommend getting the version with balanced
jack connections rather than the XLR one. Electronically they're identical,
but you're less likely to destroy it in the way I destroyed
mine....<BR><BR></DIV>Don't plug the XLR outputs into a mic input if phantom
is enabled. As corporal Jones would say "they don't like it up
'em..."<BR><BR></DIV>I have a fried unit to prove
this.<BR><BR></DIV>Bruce.<BR><BR>
