I've always wanted something like that, but they always seem too pricey.

Hi.

Anyone experienced with this device ?

I have just swapped my old Roland ED M-10 with this newer Edirol M-10MX because the right RCA out seems to have bad contact on the Roland.

The Edirol has solved all my noise problem and the sound is perfectly clear from all sources now.

It lacks balance LR control compared to the older Roland but has other advantages.

I would like to know two things:

- Input 5/6 has both RCA and 3,5 jack unlike the other ports. Could i use both at the same time to have one more source connected or could this damage something?

- there is a front hack input which doubles input 1/2 and it is marked as "plug in powered" and intended for a mic. Can i connect there something else than a microphone like the output of a computer without damaging anything?

It would make this one a 7 stereo sources mixer instead of 5 and would be better for my setup.

Thanks in advance.

Answering myself after some tests and research.

- Jacks and RCA on the 5/6 input can work together and are mixed as one input with no problem. That's make it a 6 stereo sources mixer.

- About the plug in powered stereo input jack at the front, it seems connecting the line out of my computer to this mic in could damage the device because of the difference in impedance level, but that could be done with a so called DI box which would lower the level to mic level. Still unsure about the power thing into the jack. Note that the Sens 1/2 button has no effect to the front mic in according to manual.
I didn't know of DI box before but may be they are suitable to transform Mic In into Line In on any PC soundcard, as i usually need several lines in but never Mic in?

In case someone needs that info later, unfortunately the mic in from the front can't be used even with a 40 dB attenuating DI-Box because there is a lot of electric and static noise on this powered jack. The plug in powered should be cut off but i don't know how to do that.
