UR44 XLR / Line connecting H&K Grandmeister amp

Steinberg Hardware UR Series
1

I think I know the answer to this, but wanted to post it to make sure. I recently got a Hughes and Kettner Grandmeister deluxe 40 amp. The direct out for recording is balanced line level XLR . Seems that is a problem because the UR44 appears to use the XLR exclusively for mic input.

The H&K can be set for mic level out but it sounds like it’s not the preferred, probably decreases the signal to noise level.

I need to check if the 44c has the same restrictions on the XLR input (mic only).

Any other thoughts on connecting these?

Thanks,

Ross

Yes, it does.

But the line inputs 3, 4, 5, 6 can be connected to both balanced and unbalanced plugs. So if you get the correct cable - xlr on one end and phone type jack on the other it could work.

I do have a balanced XLR to TRS cable coming tomorrow. I just was not sure it the balanced/unbalanced applied to the TRS input (or if it was meant to be paired with the XLR/Line option as XLR(balanced)/Line(unbalanced)).

Thanks for confirming that the XLR to balanced TRS cable may be the solution.
