[Frameworks] Eiki 16mm projector hook up to PA

[Todd Eacrett]

Hi Chris,

Some Eikis are supposed to have a line level out if you use the sleeve and ring (or ring and tip?) of a three-conductor (TRS) jack but I've never had much luck with that. I run the output from the speaker jack of our NT-0s on a mono 1/4" to a cheap DI box (Behringer DI20) then out of that as a balanced XLR to the board. The DI can pad it down 20 or 40dB so the signal isn't so hot and also gives you two channels for fake stereo.
