Subject:Re: Submixers stereo-mono

Wow, this turned into quite a thread. In the PA situation I had to
compromise with, there was no 'me' amp to run one of the L/R outputs
back to = PA mains and monitors plus hurry up and get set up. So I
followed the Mackie tech guys advice like a dumb ox to the slaughter,
and it worked fine with no noise. Their mixers have beaucoup gain
and output so if either way works 'better' there would be no problem
with any volume loss. I understand all the different paths to arrive
at a picture of how stereo to mono would and wouldn't work
efficiently. Some good thinking in clonewheel, but I still don't
know for sure; which is OK = lots of info. There must have been a
reason the 'Mackie guy' told me to 'Y' the L/R mixer mains - maybe he
was only a screwdriver tech?
