In practice, there shouldn't be a problem interfacing them, provided you have the right cables. If the cable runs between the units are short (and they should be, if they're racked anywhere near each other), you should be able to send a line-level signal from your Pacifica to your RNC and on to your converter (and DAW), or wherever, without much difficulty.

I don't remember whether the Pacifica has an insert point (like the Great River or the RNP) which would be even better in this application.

You should check out the FMR site; there's lots of information there (and in the RNC manual) about interfacing the RNC with all sorts of gear. Or send them an email. They're very accessible and helpful.

Thank you for the reply.

I can see in the RNC manual this:

Hooking up the RNC to balanced lines with TRS 1/4'' plugs will not work! If
the equipment you are connecting the RNC to is balanced, you must

first unbalance it and only connect into the RNC with TS 1/4'' plugs.

So can someone "unbalance" a balanced signal?
