A FEW NOTES ON THE RECORDING OUTPUT
No matter how great an amp sounds, translating that sound through a
microphone and then through a mixer often leads to less than desirable results.
Mic'ing up a guitar amp is as much art as science and most of us don't have the
necessary acoustic spaces or experience to do it well time after time. Similarly, if
you capture that magical spot once, it's nearly impossible to duplicate.
The Recording Out on the Nace PRO-18 solves all of these problems. By simply
plugging a 1/4" cable between the Recording Out and straight into your mixer or
recording interface, you'll enjoy the sound of a well mic'ed up guitar cabinet
without any voodoo or magic required.
In the studio the benefits of this may be obvious: shorter setup time and
consistent sound.
For the live player the benefit to sound engineers of not having to have an extra
microphone on stage are numerous.
Keep in mind that less noise will result from using a balanced (TRS) cable between
the amp and mixer/interface.
