Default Digi002 XLR inputs strictly mic?

If I go out of my Great River mic pre into one of the four XLR inputs on the back and have the Mic/Line button set to Line/Inst, does that bypass the Digi002 pre? Or, does that button simply switch between the two input jacks?

The best way to use your Great river pre is to get a XLR-TRS cable(assuming the Great River has an XLR out_ and patch it to input 5 thru 8 and set the switch on the back of the 002 to the +4 position. Going in via XLR to the 002 will be feeding a mic pre into another mic pre. BTW, the mic/line switch selects between the 2 jacks AND a gain stage as the XLR is meant for microphones only(so it passes thru an extra gain stage).

Well... that's the problem, I have my API 3124+ going into inputs 5-8 (via XLR to TRS)... I need to get a new converter and go into the Digi002 through the ADAT light pipe.

As I recall, the gain knob on channels 1-4 gets defeated when the input button is set to Line/Inst... does that mean the preamp is entirely bypassed, ie. making it the same as inputs 4-8?

Don't think so.. It's just a 20db pad and it bypasses the XLR input. The gain knob does not get defeated..

I believe the 003R+ has the ability to bypass the mic-pres.. Not sure about the regular 003 and 003r
