  • So is there a specific unbalanced TRS cable or will any 1/4 TRS Cable do? Funny as my TS cable worked? If this is true why did the TS cable work? Just curious. I wish they would document this stuff better.

  • It needs a simple TS connector ...TRS doesn't mean that there are 3 connections..the ring can be used to open a contact for ex
    Unbalanced is unbalanced..so only hot and ground

  • Cool. That was my understanding after reading everything for a day. Being new sucks, but everybody has to pay their dues.


    One thing I noticed is the sound is not loud. Is there something I need to do to get a louder tone to my interface?

    I'm using a Focusrite 2i2. which have a much lower vol. than any mixers I've used in the past. Another thing I've found ( also a newbie ) is that many of the samples have low volume. For an example of higher output, try the Morgan AC20.

    I have a Focusrite 18i6 and I use the XLR outs rather than TRS for my interface. It turns out that the XLRs are +10 while the TRS is +4; the extra 6dB seems to be just the ticket for the Focusrite.

  • Thanks to BRUNO, I reported this to support and here is the specs for outputs :


    Analog Outputs


    Master L and R Outputs: XLR balanced, ¼ inch TS unbalanced with ground lift


    max output level: XLR +22dBu, TS +16dBu


    Monitor Output: ¼ inch TS unbalanced with ground lift


    max output level: +16dBu


    Direct Output/Send: ¼ inch TS unbalanced with ground lift


    max output level: +16dBu


    Output Dynamic Range: >108 dB


    Dedicated Headphone Output: ¼ inch TRS stereo, 33Ohm



    There's an error in the KPA Manual Basics and Profiling where it's written that both XLR and jack are balanced.

    keno, you ever tried the s/pdif ouput from the KPA to your Focusrite 18i6? Just as a comparison when it comes to mixing & latency...
