Hello Chris,
I've found that the UB-802's unbalanced output drives the FLEX-5000 Line
input very nicely. I made up a cable with a 1/4" phone plug on one end
and a shielded RCA plug on the other, and I also installed two snap-on
ferrite cores at the RCA plug end of the cable.
I don't see any advantage in driving a balanced input from an unbalanced
source. Besides, I believe the line input has lower gain than the
balanced input, which will enable you to take advantage of the UB-802's
already excellent S/N ratio and headroom.

I have a Behringer B1 microphone that I'd like to use with the Flex
5000A. I picked up a Behringer UB802 mixer so I could get the 48V
phantom power to the mic. Unfortunately the UB802 only has an
unbalanced output (1/4" phone jack - ground on the sleeve and audio on
the tip). The output has about a 120 ohm impedance.
What would be the best way to connect this mixer to the Flex 5000?
Should I use the line-in (RCA) connector on the back? Or should I
figure out a way to wire up an adaptor to run into the balanced line
input on the back?
Thanks.
Chris,
