Q: 5. To be sure, this can record from cd to sd card, sd card to sd card, and SD card to cd?

A: The Tascam SS-CDR250N Two-Channel Networking CD and Media Recorder has the ability to record to SD Cards, USB Flash Drives, and CD-R/CD-RW discs. These media options cannot be chosen as source options however - only destinations. Input sources for recording to these media options would be external and connect to the SS-CDR250N via its back panel.

Q: 6. So if I'm running a Pro2 at FOH and another Pro2 in MON, I'd need to buy 2 of these to get discrete attenuator control (master/master preamp control) for each console?

A: The DL431 features 3 sets of outputs. The two variable gain preamps are remote controllable from two separate locations, such as front of house and monitor positions. ( rear panel). The front panel is a transformer-isolated split and fixed gain.

Q: 7. Tascam SS-CDR250N Q&A Can you alter the pitch or tempo of the Cd and dub it to SD?

A: Sorry, not possible to aleter the pitch or tempo of a CD to be dubbed on a SD card.

Q: 8. Can you connect a Midas DL152 to DL151 to make a digital snake?

A: Unfortunately you cannot daisy chain the Midas DL15x series of I O boxes. The DL15x is intended to be directly connected to the Midas DL371 via the AES50 ports. The DL16 and DL32 IO boxes can be daisy-chained when used with the Midas M32 or Behringer X32 consoles. I have attached these various products for clarification purposes. All of which can be found on the B&H website.

Q: 9. it can be used with a presonus mixer?

A: The Presonus mixers do not send information over MADI like the Soundcraft Mini Stagebox. Some of them use AVB over Ethernet.

Q: 10. How does one adjust record level from analog inputs? Many Thanks
