Question about cables for Focusrite Scarlett 18i16 4th gen audio interface
I’m wanting to connect my Boss KATANA Gen 3 artist amplifier, Fender GTX 100 amplifier, and Valeton GP 200 effects board to my Scarlet audio interface. I know that I can use the 1/4” inch jacks into the rear of the Scarlet.
My question is my amplifiers an effects board have XLR output jacks. Can I connect an XLR to XLR cable directly into the front 4 ports of the Scarlett 18i16? I know that those 4 ports are combination jacks that can do both XLR and 1/4” but they also have preamps for microphone. I didn’t know if I’m able to use those for line level connections with an XLR cable directly to an amplifier effects boards. I don’t want to damage anything by making the wrong connections.
Appreciate any help as I’m new to home studio recording and can’t seem to find an answer in the manual.
