output a TC-Helicon Touch (XLR) to a Traktor Audio6 input (phono)?

zoid

would anyone here be able to tell me if the output from a TC-Helicon Touch would give enough level to plug in to a Native Instruments Traktor Audio 6 interface? this is to process a trumpet on a live electronic music gig...

the specs for the TC-Helicon output are:

Connectors, balanced: XLR (for mono) and 1/4″ phone jack
Output Impedance Balanced/ Unbalanced: 80/40 Ohm
Output Range: Line: 14.5 dBu
Dynamic Range: > 109 dB, 20 Hz to 20 kHz

the specs for the Traktor Audio 6 line inputs are:

Full Scale Input Level +12 dBu, 3.08 Vrms
Gain -2.6 dB
Dynamic Range 98.9 dB (A)

any help much appreciated

Should be fine. Your main problem is that the Traktor input is unbalanced and so you run the risk of ground loops, depending on which way you wire the TRS output of the TC to the RCA input of the Traktor. Test in advance maybe?
