[Frameworks] Eiki 16mm projector hook up to PA

[Stefan Grabowski]

If you look at the manual on page 6 here, you can see how to wire a 1/4" TRS connector for line level output:https://filmlabs.org/docs/slimslot.pdf If your mixer has an available XLR input, you could buy an XLR-M to 1/4" TRS cable, cut the lead going to the ring and cap it with some heat shrink tubing, then cut the lead going to the tip and rewire it to the ring. This should give you your line level out from the projector. I believe this works with all SL and SSL models – possibly others as well. This method should be much cheaper than buying a DI box and will likely give you cleaner audio as well, since you're not having to attenuate then reamplify the signal.

Best,
Stefan

All good advice, and if worse comes to worse, just put the sound level as low as possible and amplify it comfortably, it usually works ok. I sometimes use a guitar amp.
