| Are you referring to the XLR output>? I tried sending it to the board but the signal seemed too hot so I went back to and SM57. |

I've used the XLR out on several shows where they miked everything and it worked fine (and the sound guys even knew what the steel should sound like). These were "big venues" where they had two boards - a main out front and a monitor board on the side of the stage with sound people on both boards.
I've also used to to record with on my Fostex VF160 without problems. |

| I've used it once or twice. Normally I just make people mic the amps. But if you're going to use the XLR line out (or the preamp out), it's important to remember that they are line level outputs and need to be connected to the line in on the board. If you connect them to the mic inputs (the normal XLR inputs on most boards), you'll have noise or distortion issues. |

| I've been using the XLR out on the NV 112 to record direct to the board. It sounds good. With the 112 there is the option of monitoring off the 112 cabinet (in conjunction with the studio's playback speakers) or turning off the 112's post gain and using headphones. There is also a way to patch in effects so you can hear echo/reverb in the 112's speaker while the XLR sends a dry signal to the board. I usually patch a reverb box in the 112 inserts and turn it up just enough to be able to play. All in all, the NV 112 is a useful little amp. |

| Jonathan, I connected mine to a mic input which may account for the way hot signal. Even padded down to the minimum it was still too hot. I have to look thru the mixers manual to see where they want a line level plugged in. |

| Most mixers, even with the gain all the way down, still boost the mic signal by 5-10 db. Using an XLR to TRS adapter and plugging into the line in will probably solve the problem. |

I usually tell the sound tech to pad the channel if I use the XLR out on my 112. It is really hot, but sounds pretty good when tamed down. Sound techs love DI'd instruments. The less mics on stage, the cleaner the sound out front.
