Connecting Genos with Omni?
 

Hi
I bought Yamaha Genos and I found that the outs are unbalanced.
I have HD omni and all inputs are TRS/Balanced.
I have bought a TRS to TRS cable and connect the devices.

my question is related to connecting unbalanced device to balanced device.

Q) In the OMNI HW, Is it better to change the lines that used with the Genos to -10dBV or keep it to +4dBu?
I'm asking because the sound is low with +4dBu and higher with 10dBV.

Regards,
AK

have you tried the SPDIF output of your Genos into the Omni ??

and since this is a Synth yes, you would probably need to set the OMNI to -1o on that inout for this .. or use a Stereo DI into Micpreamps ..

No, I did not tried SPIDF, is it going to sound better?

Ok, I will use it with -10DBV.

i have no idea if it will sound better .. but it is a simple one cable connection ..

the analog might give you something you like or maybe not .. will be your preference as i do not own your same gear i would not venture to have an opinion ..

please let us know how it goes .. all good info gets passed along to the next poor soul looking for an answer !!!

cheers john

Going Spidf should sound a little better since you’d have one less step of digital to analog and analog to digital conversion.

Just make sure you have a “Digital” SPDIF cable and are not using an analog RCA cable.
