Slogun · 22nd January 2012

Hi everyone,

I have set up my Symphony I/O output to go to my SSL X-Rack VHD mic pre's inputs to be able to colour my line level sources with the drive it provides. So far everything's good, but here's my dilema...

I guess the pre will fry my Symphony's output stage if I (or someone else) accidentaly engages the +48v. Is there a fool proof way to avoid this from happening? Suggestions?

Thanks!
