Bypassing the preamps
I just had the most wonderful luck of winning a Prism pre-amp! never won anything before, so this is really cool! It arrived today!
The Prism only has XLR connections. How can I use this with the Control 24 (and a 002R) and avoid having to send the signal thru one of the onboard pre's. In the past with other (and much less expensive) pre's I used Channels 5 - 8 balanced inputs on the 002R, which I've been told are sans pre-amp. Can I go from XLR to TRS? If so Pin 1 to Tip, 2 to ring, 3 to sleeve? Thanks

Re: Bypassing the preamps
just connect the prism to the 002. the C24 preamps have nothing to do with that setup

Re: Bypassing the preamps
Using the XLR inputs? Won't this still be routing the signal through the onboard Digi pre's on 1 - 4?

Re: Bypassing the preamps
you're right. I'm sorry. I misunderstood. When you said "How can I use this with the Control 24 (and a 002R) and avoid having to send the signal thru one of the onboard pre's." I took that to mean bypassing the control 24 pres, not the 002. I get it now.
Does the prism have an optical or digital out? As far as this question: "Can I go from XLR to TRS? If so Pin 1 to Tip, 2 to ring, 3 to sleeve?" yes you can. however...

Re: Bypassing the preamps
The Prism has XLR in and XLR out. I guess they figure if you spent that much $$$ for it, connecting it wouldn't be an issue.
OK, I can make a XLR to TSR. Do you know for fact the the 002 inputs 5 - 8 is a direct in (meaning nothing else in the signal chain... not a DI box/like circuit)?

Re: Bypassing the preamps
I don't really know about that. I tried to find some info, but can't seem to get it tonight. Maybe someone else can clarify that. I did find this:
I guess that would be the way to hook that up (with your XLR to TRS cable).
