Rob D,
My NT4 arrived today and I immediately found out why I got such a good deal=
on it...no cables :). I had a stereo xlr to 1/8th mini patch made at Trew =
Audio where I got the R09HR and will get them to fix me up with cables...ve=
ry nice work.
Besides no PAD what should I be getting for cables? I'm assuming that in ad=
dition to nature recording, acoustic guitar won't need a PAD either? thanks=
in advance, gerry
