Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this backwards compatible with USB 3.0/2.0?

A: comes with standard usb yes

Q: 2. Can the FMR RNC be connected directly to the Pioneer DDJ 800 DJ Controller? Can then the FMR RNC be connected to the AKG HP4E? Hence, the signal flow is as follows: DDJ 800 = FMR RNC = HP4E = Headphones https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1244140-REG/akg_3450h00010_hp4e_4_channel_headphone_amplifier.html/qa

A: Yes, it is possible to send audio from the headphone output on the Pioneer DJ DDJ-800 Controller into the FMR Audio RNC1773 Really Nice Compressor, then out to the AKG HP4E 4-Channel Headphone Amplifier for up to four users to listen through headphones.

Q: 3. Does this supply phantom power?

A: I doubt that it supplies phantom power as it appears to be intended only for line level circuits, not mics. the selection choice is between pro (+4) and consumer (-10) levels for the rear panel XLRs

Q: 4. Does this just help in recordings, or is there a clear difference in live speaking as well?

A: I use it for recording only, but I believe it would work as well for live speaking as well. The adjusted sound would just go directly to speakers instead of the recorder.

Q: 5. Can the outputs be mapped for 5.1 monitoring?

A: This interface cannot be mapped for 5.1 monitoring.

Q: 6. Looking for a softbox that will fit a Dracast DRX500BN. What can I use?

A: Yes, the Dracast Softbox for X-Series 500 is a perfect solution for the Dracast unit.

Q: 7. What is the warranty for this?

A: The D'Addario PW-MPTS-06 Custom Series 1/8" Stereo Plug to Dual 1/4" Plugs Audio Cable has a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.

Q: 8. Can this device help me, to have the same volume always from my tv to the speakers.?

A: The DBX unit is a dual channel unit generally recommended for professional music recording/production. The unit also features a Gate and Expander. Most features not required for your application. The Rolls SL33B is a popular product for your application, and can be connected between TV and receiver, or TV and powered speakers. https://bhpho.to/2qGDGNG

Q: 9. Can it be used on a 50 ohm BNC cable?

A: The Hosa Technology CBT-500 Audio Cable Tester only specifies the ability to test 75 ohm BNC cables and appears incompatible with 50 ohm BNC.

Q: 10. I received the rnc1773. The selling page's photo has 9v adapter but I got the 12v adapter. So, could you change the photo for new one with 12v adapter? It can making confuse to some customers.

A: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will do our best update the information.

I needed a cable to connect my Macbook Pro to my mixer and this one worked perfectly! 5

Cable is flexable, well shielded with low resistance male connectors for low noise interference of the audio output of the monitors which allows optimum mastering conditions. I'm using Sony software on my laptop. 5

I needed a cable to plug some speakers I have what have the 1/8 plug into my interface's monitor out which uses 1/4 plugs. This cable did exactly what I needed and didn't impact the sound at all. So, yes, it is a boring-sounding item, but it did the trick for me. 5
