Just a quick note to the list to say (again) - thanks for the help<br>
<br>
The Behringer solution seems to do it all so we've decided on that
route, but all tips, tricks & ideas are greatly appreciated!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<p>The S1 mixer has trim pots of up to 12dB gain on each channel,
so the -10dB level of domestic gear shouldn't be a problem if it
were plugged straight in to mixer channels. Not sure that the
external monitor inputs do though. </p>
<p>Usually in practice it's not critical to do anything elaborate,
but if I were properly converting the outputs, I wouldn't use
the Canford stick-ons - they are a daft price, costing more than
the cheaper tuners! </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>One of the most cost effective options is to get a Behringer
4-channel compressor (with the defeat switches on) - they have
balanced and unblanced in on each channel and full level
balanced outputs, for half the price of a simple two-channel
'stick-on' convertor! And you have a spare set of
compressor-limiters and front panel level meters into the
bargain!<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>(Or if you're handy with a soldering iron, you can get little
unbal-bal convertor PCB modules for £20-40 to stick inside,
powered by the mixer or tuner and giving a full balanced
output.)<br>

Scan Studiospares online or the other broadcast suppliers any
rack mount tuner is good and purchase a tamper proof rack panel
to go in front of it. Alternatively if cost sensitive a decent
Sony HiFi receiver mounted and set back on a 19" rack tray with
a flat piece of clear Perspex with holes drilled to fit the rack
screw positions works. Matching and balancing transformers are
available suggest the "stick on" range via Canford audio but if
just off air monitoring may not be required as it feeds the
headphone pre amp via a selector. HiFi is lower level
(phono) output than balanced XLR. Won't go into the levels as
you won't need the barber for a month!!

I need to point a Funder at what we want & they will
then buy it for us - so eBay is out.<br>
<br>
Please excuse my stunning lack of technical knowledge!!<br>
