Why isn't there extra mixer circuitry included with the WavePRO
interfaces? When we designed WavePRO, we concluded that having a
built-in mixer would make it more complicated to use the card in
conjunction with an external mixer. Also, when extra mixer circuitry is
included in an audio card, an extra level of amplification is required.
This can diminish audio quality and add noise. We decided to avoid
needless complexity and preserve the highest audio quality. Since the
WavePRO interface requires a line level signal, you will need to make
sure that any low-level signals, such as microphones, are preamplified.
Connecting a WavePRO interface to an audio mixer console
Below is a block diagram for connecting a WavePRO interface to a
mixer. A wide variety of mixers is are available from many different
manufacturers. If you are considering the purchase of a mixer for your
recording setup, you can buy small consoles with prices that start at
around $300 US.
We recommend that you use a mixer that has channel inserts (also
called patch points). For quietest operation, we recommend that you
directly patch the WavePRO inputs to the channel inserts jacks. This
offers maximum mixing flexibility.
