[digitalradio] Re: Mono mic input?

[Skip Teller]

Using a mono plug on the Mic input of the soundcard is no problem.   Using a mono plug on the soundcard speaker output shorts the two channels and can burn out the audio amp. Been there - done that! 73, Skip  KH6TY     ----- Original Message ----- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 6:41 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Digest Number 1926 ------------------------ Yahoo!

What are the preferred specifications for sound processing for the most exacting Ham modes, please? I am beginning the design of a audio chain that will double for Ham and home studio purposes. Is 24-bit/96kHz suitable to meet the needs well into the near-term future? I have Ham interests in ATV, DATV, SSTV, DSSTV, assorted digital modes, and LinRad. My son has interests in audio and video recording and processing and the production of material for streaming Internet audio and perhaps video. I also record and send public service announcements to radio stations from time to time and they have somewhat rigid requirements. -- Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e  http://bibleseven.com Florida Home w/Rohn 45 in concrete base & 10 acres for sale: <http://bibleseven.cjb.cc/cjb-steelhouse-index.html> ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message 9     From: "ROBERT DICKERSON" [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Date: Tue May 30, 2006 1:06pm(PDT) Subject: Re: Mono mic input?

Line inputs are stereo. Microphones are mono, but have a third wire for powering condenser mics - hence the "stereo" plug and the need for any extension cable to be "stereo".  If I recall correctly, the tip is power, it's the middle ring that's the audio input, so any attempt at using mono connectors just shorts out the audio input.

I think we gave everything except  what was asked.... Yes,  you can use the mic connector on your soundcard, just be aware the level is "hotter" and keep the level down.
