connect Mackie mixer and / or studio monitors?
Hello!
We've just updated our old system (formerly a G5 tower from early 2008) to a MacPro. We have some peripherals that would be great to connect but I'm thinking can't be connected now because of the turnover of connection types. Specifically, is there a way to connect a Mackie 802-VLZ3 to a MacPro? I inquired with a consultant at Apple regarding the old 26-pin connection into the back of the old Mac and that's not available any more.
Formerly, the Mackie was connected by XLRs out to the 26 pin connector into the back of the Mac. The Mackie also had XLRs out to a nice pair of studio monitors --which is REALLY what I want to keep and be able to do to mix my audio soundtracks.
The Mackie has XLR, RCA and stereo phone plug out capability.
The studio monitors have XLR and TRS in capability.
Thanks in advance for any advice. Loving the new MacPro so far! 😀
