Anyone using a Saffire 24 or 40 (mix control) with a Behringer HA800 Headphone amp? Help!
Maybe I am misunderstanding it but... This headphone amp has a couple ways to do things, it has 2 main in's (and I have these working) so I can set up 2 different mixes sending one out of my mix control to each feed, then on each headphone line (it has 8) I can choose which mix I want to hear from those cans. That far I got, I had to run 2 cables (a left and right) for each mix.
Then, on the back of the ha8000 each channel (headphone line) has a direct in, so I could send it 8 individual feeds (separate mixes). I bought an 8 channel TRS to TRS snake thinking that with TRS I am sending a stereo signal for each so that is all I'd need...?
My Saffire pro 40 has 8 or 10 outputs on the back so I figured cool, I can create up to 8 mixes in the mix control software, send each to a single out, run my TRS cable to the corresponding direct in on the Behringer and have up to 8 monitors mixes (if needed). Seems the Saffire pro 40 sends them in stereo requiring 2 cables. For instance, Mix #1 goes out on outputs 7&8 (left & right) Rather than a single TRS cable sending both from 7 (leaving 8 open for mix #2). So in this case.... I'd need adapters to fold the 2 mono lines into 1 TRS to input on my headphone amp, which also means I can't run as many separate mixes because I only have so many outputs from Saffire pro 40.
Does anyone follow me here? What am I doing wrong? Thanks!!!!
