DanH71 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi Is it possible to take a di feed from the Aguilar Tonehammer 350 using male xlr into the female xlr input of the mbox 2 mic input? Speakon output is available at the back, so I guess a speakon to 1/4 jack (if such a thing exists) would be another way to get the audio through the mbox 2 and into my pc.. Any help would be appreciated Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Dan if you can run the Aguilar without connecting a cab you'll be fine. I've done this with my TTE500 as a direct out and it worked just fine - di out to interface in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanH71 Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi Krispin and thanks for the reply. The Aguilar only has one output and that's the speakon connection. So it's not like I can run a line input into my mbox 2 interrace 1/4 " jack input. But are you saying I can just run the DI out from my head into the xlr mic input of the interface? Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Aguilar has a DI output, which does exactly what you want. Your Mbox 2 has a 'Line' input, but it's a 1/4" 'TRS' jack, not an XLR. There is also a DI input, with a 'normal' 1/4" jack. All you need, then, is a correctly-wired XLR-TRS jack cable to connect the 'Line In', or an XLR-Jack cable to connect to the 'DI In'. Your local music shop will have either of these, or our very own OBBM can supply them, I'm sure. In any case, DO NOT CONNECT ANYTHING BUT A CAB TO THE SPEAKON output; this can (and probably will..!) damage both the Mbox and the Aguilar..! 'DI Out' to 'Line In' or 'DI In' and you're good to go. Good luck, and happy recordings. Hope this helps. Edited May 20, 2017 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanH71 Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Dad3353, my bad of course it does! Just bought a female xlr to male xlr to go from the Aguilars DI output into the mbox 2's male xlr input. Cheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
