Hi,

I know this isn't really a repair related question however, I am hoping
that someone can help?

I am trying to work out the best way of connecting the line-output
connection on a mixer to an XLR input on a professional Sony
camcorder?

Can this be done without a transformer? If so, will the quality be
affected?

Hi...

Would be nice if the Sony had a line input, but if not...

You might like to try building an L pad into your "new"
xlr connector. Put a 200 ohm resistor across the line out and
ground, and 12k or so in series with the line out and one of the
mic inputs.

This will be quite sensitive to noise, so the cable should be
quite short - or you'll have to use a transformer, or at least
an H pad...

Take care.
