Absolutely true :) For phantom powered microphones pin 1 should be wired to the enclosure of the mic as direct (short, broad -> low...

The only down side of the old paper is the now-broken links at the end. Current versions are...

Bruno's paper is as aways a good one. Though an exception is with phantom powered microphones -- those won't work at all without a pin...

Indeed. For quite some time the pin 1 of the XLR connection has been misunderstood. Finally Bruno Putzeys has written a nice paper...

The filters all seem labeled correctly apart from Filter 4 which is Linear phase fast roll-off low ripple (ESS #4) not Linear phase fast...

I flashed the latest firmware and it seemed to me that they fixed the filter labeling. Fast filters were fast (roll off before 0.55 Fs)...

I'm out this week so I can't double check. As far as I remember the internal Gnd is connected to PE. On two of the units I'm using RCA...

Your playback environment is unlikely to offer much more than 12-14 bits of SNR anyway, so all this discourse around audio bit depth and...

The modern chips are working with 32 bits internally, so you can indeed attenuate significantly using the digital volume control of the...

Here's the graph for output level[dBu] = f(volume-as-displayed) for the D-6s: You are talking about "99 - 26" or about "26"? With...

I am astonished to see this comment coming from an experienced engineer. Please read more literatures and learn what "balanced...

if you choose method 2) it's extremely safe and there will be no disadvantage. it's called "impedance balanced" and many professional...

So you do also connect XLR pin1 to the shell of the RCA connector. It's the safe way to do it unless you have a transformer coupled...

You need to match the resistance so that it's balanced. See...
