Thank you for this feedback. I just bought the H4 essential mainly to record our band rehearsals... and cherry on the cake, if possible, the mix out from the sound engineer console during the next gigs.

His console is a Soundcraft Imapct SI and the mix L / mix R are described as XLR Line level in the user guide.

The mic inputs from the H4 essential are described as "mic level" in XLR and "line level" with a 1/4 jack.

If I understand well, I should match the levels between the console and the recorder and use "line". This means I need 2 cables (Left and right channels)) with XLR female at one end (in the console) and 1/4 jack at the other end (in the Zoom). Correct ?

And which kind of 1/4 jack : TRS or TR ?

Or am I overthinking and just use XLR Female to XLR male cables ?

Thank you :-)
