Hi all, I have a measurement tool which I'd like to use on my speakers.
It outputs 10V max with an impedance of 100Ω via a BNC connection and I'd like to connect it to my Motu M2 Dac to get the readings into REW for analysis.
The M2 offers XLR for Mic In and TRS for line / guitar on a combined socket with a volume control. There's also a Midi In.
The XLR socket has an impedance of 2.65kΩ and should accept up to 10mV. TRS is 1MΩ single-ended or 2MΩ dual-ended. It should probably accept up to 1V as it's line level.
As I have some spare XLR connectors, I'd prefer to use those.
Can I just put a resistor in series with the XLR socket, 2.65MΩ (= 2.65kΩ x 10V / 10mV) to reduce the voltage, or is there a better way of doing this?
TIA
