FM3 connection to Mackie mixer?

[Pablo72p]

Hello,
I’m new to using a mixer as well as a Fractal Audio newbie.
Could someone kindly tell me what XLR cable I need to do this?
I’m wanting to go out of my FM3 into the mixer.
Please specify if this would be a microphone cable or balanced patch connection cable?

Appreciate your insight or any help out there!

Depends of the scenario:
a) At home I use out1 with xlr cable to mixer xlr input
b) live I use humbuster cable from out2 to xlr input on mixer, out1 is dedicated for foh

Hope that helps.

Regular mic cable is all you need.

I do not recommend passing line level through microphone preamps. Typically I use XLR at the Fractal outs down a balanced cable with 1/4" TRS plugs at the other end into line level inputs on the Mackie. Cheers.

So are you using a mic cable or something different? Balanced is what I’ve been told is best.

This was what our sound guy indicated as well. Thank you!
