Awesome. Thanks for the reply. That makes things much easier.

Do I need to use an adapter or could I just use an RCA -> XLR cable?

you could use either but you will get better long term usage out of a set of adaptors in my experience, meaning you havent got to get a proprietory cable, and you can use standard set of cables and still have a set of standard cables after you are done with the inano (if your setup changes)

resurrecting this thread cus i'm thinking of getting one.

just wanted to know what's the difference between a preamp, and this unit? many of the commercial preamps out there seem to be alot more expensive, and claim less than "completely transparent sound". can those who have the unit advise if you've experienced any loss in sound quality when using the inano?

if you just need a vol control knob to control your a7s, then this would be it.

Another passive vol control knob you can look into is the level pilot. I got these for my bm5a and they're real nice.

All the cheaper passive vol attenuators including the sm patch, nano patch and level pilot have slight channel imbalances at very low levels. Unless you get a goldpoint vol. attenuator or some other obscenely expensive attenuator, you probably won't get 100% balanced channels at low levels.

what is considered low level? <50%?
