Hey people,

I just picked up a Tascam DP-24 Digital Portastudio.

Can you please tell me how to connect the KKPro to a 1/4 line in. When I try it it comes out all soft weird and wrong. I have RCA jacks going into a 1/4 cable. It sounds fine in a AMP. But, it does not even want to sound when I connect the 1/4 to a PA or this mixing board.

Thank you all,

you sure its not the cable?

RCAx2 - 1/4x2 ? monox2 to monox2?

cant you bump the gain on the channels?

and check that its not the cable thats the issue.

If you have a Y cable that has two RCA jacks on one end and a 1/4" mono jack on the other, then you could burn out the outputs of your KPRO. Immediately disconnect that Y cable.

Never, ever, hook a Y cable up to an output of an audio device unless you know what you're doing, or you could be shorting the two outputs together.

The KPRO has stereo outputs, so it normally needs to be hooked up to TWO 1/4" mono inputs on a mixer or multitrack recorder. Most mixers have some stereo RCA audio inputs, so those are the easiest to use, since you can use a regular stereo RCA cable with male plugs on both ends to hook the KPRO output to the input.

You need to ensure that the center post of each RCA output on the KPRO go to separate inputs on whatever device you're sending them to. You can't just have the signals on those posts shorted to each other, as done on a Y cable, to connect them to a single input. Output signals can be split with a Y cable to go to two inputs (with half of the signal level lost on each), but not two outputs merged/shorted to go to a single input.
