There is a difference in signal levels between consumer electronics and pro. If the equipment has RCAs out, that probably indicates consumer levels, which are far below pro levels (which I believe is 1v p-p) The pro equipment may want pro-levels, so some kind of output gain may be required. DO NOT make long runs of consumer-level, unbalanced RCA-type cables. Convert to balanced (at least) and pro-levels (preferably) as soon as possible, and stay balanced for as much as possible. I remember some audio engineers affectionately refer to RCA leads as "arials" (or antennas) for their propensity to pick up hum and other interference!Had to add gain to audio coming in so it would be compatible with Betacam-Sp recorder, which apparently requires pro-audio levels.
