Hi to Marco and all,
The lead arrived today, and I have just tested it and this is what I've fou=
nd. Plug into MIC; Turn LS-10 gain to 2 and reduce iRig gain to minimum. Se=
t sense to Low and turn on to Record Pause; adjust gain on iRig. There will=
be no response if gain is set to zero on LS-10.
I've done a very quick test with these settings, and at maximum gain on the=
iRig, and I have to say that I'm extremely surprised at the quality. All b=
eing well I'll do another test late at night with no outdoor traffic, and w=
ith all nearby electrical components turned off. I will then submit a short=
sample for one of our 'tech boys' to examine, and give us a more critical =
opinion. I should have said that the mic I used was an AT3032. One thing al=
ready for the 'tech boys' is, that Audition showed two identical waveforms;=
not one?
Cheers
Max
p.s. recording at 88.2 - 24bit.

The only problem with this is, if what I heard is correct, then there would=
n't be any signal from the iRig headphone output.
