RoyS Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Next weekend I will be working with a drummer who uses a Roland V kit with a TD20 controller. There are 8 direct outputs on the back of the TD20. I plan to make a small sub-core with balanced jacks at one end and male XLR’s at the other then plugging directly into the multi (50m). Has anybody tackled this in the same way, or am I going to need 8x DI channels?BTW: I’ve looked though the user manual for the controller and can’t find any details of whether the o/p’s are balanced or unbalanced..

BigYinUK Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 They are unbalanced so you'll need an 8 way DI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revbobuk Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Like the (speaks in a whisper) Behringer DI800 which isn't a bad piece of kit. Link here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyS Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Thanks for all your responses. I made an unbalanced jack to XLR sub-loom and tried it out at a rehersal - connecting it to my desk via the normal multicore (L=70m+). The sound for live work was fine. Between numbers some background noise could be heard but in a live inviroment this should not be a problem. DI's are obviously the proper was to go though... Cheers.
