sonnytrue20 0 Posted March 6, 2013 I wish to position my mic 10m from the hard drive and would appreciate advice on connection please: 1. Mic to preamp via 3 pin XLR cable via 10m 3 pin XLR cable to XLR to RCA adaptor to amplifier to short speaker cable to RCA connector to hard drive? Or: 2. Mic to 3 pin XLR cable to 10m XLR cable to preamp to amplifier to hard drive. 3. Mic to preamp to amplifier then to 10m speaker cable to hard drive. 4. Is it worth buying the more expensive type of XLR cable for a single channel mic? 5. Have been using an unused video cable with preamp close to mic and amplifier near hard drive - sound is rather weak, and needs the amplifier to be heard at all. My amplifier is connected internally LH in to RH speaker out, which I didn't figure out for a while, with my mono mic! Thank you again to those who advised on my previous post "Cannot get sound to record." The hard drive was faulty and replaced by Swann under warranty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
