Soundboard recording with H120
ALJ:
I am somewhat new to recording with my H120, and I was wonder about the best way to record a show through the soundboard (mixingtable).
1:
If it is a digital signal, and they have optical out, I guess I should use the optical S/PDIF in on my H120 ??
( This is what I use when I record radio with it, toslink out and S/PDIF in. )
2:
If is an analog signal. Should I record the analog signal through the line in ?? Or should I try to convert the analog signal to a digital one ?? If the latter, would the job be done by an AD 20 A/D-converter, or is that strictly from converting microphonesignals ??
I thank you in advance for your responses.
petur:
Well it depends if the external A/D converter you have is good quality. But in general if you can record digitally, do it.
There's quite a bit of information and discussion to be found on http://www.taperssection.com. Registration is required even to view that site (it's just one big forum), but it's worth it.
Davide-NYC:
If the soundboard has optical out just do that, otherwise go line-out to AD-20 to optical to H120.
Sounds like a good time. :)

This will most likely clip. The AD20 has min 17dB gain.
ALJ:
I contacted Denecke by mail, and since AD 20 is a mic pre-amp I will need a - 22 db attenuator cable, which they manufacture.
This sounds like a detour to me, or maybe it isn't, since I obviously can use the AD 20 both for this, and as a mic pre-amp.
I still wonder, before I give my dollars away, does anyone know of any better products for this ??
