PPS: An old home recording mixer has got a -50, -35, -20 dB switch instead of a trim poti. My current home recording mixer has got a trim poti for +10 to - 40 dB, resp. +10 to +60 dB/dBu. SHOPTALK! Source impedance, balanced vs unbalanced?! Unimportant details, since nowadays elCheapo equipment fi

For German professional audio engineering the lowest common denominator is to use the left channel only if phasing becomes an issue. We call it "einbeinig" here, translated it means "one-legged". This will cause loss of the right channel for playback, but for recording it's simply a perfect mono re
