I want to hook up a computer sound card to a big amplifier. I've read that it is a good idea to use a mixer in between to isolate the computer and amp, to avoid possibly damaging the sound card. Anyone know about that?
Would those $50 mixers be good for that - do they give some isolation? Also are they reasonably good quality so they don't mess up the audio quality? |

It's not a bad idea to have a mixer on hand for that exact purpose. A direct signal from your sound card to the amp sounds great providing you have the proper line out from your sound card and the right input on your amp.
On the PC soundcard, make sure you use a 'Sound Out/line out' or similar outlet. Don't use the speaker outlet as this may have too much voltage/current when turned up, for the amp to handle at the input stage. The mixer would allow you to tweak the mids, highs and lows (as would your amp if it has EQ) on the fly and further allow you to boost the signal before it hits the amp. |

I strongly reccomend anyone whos looking for shit to get down there. there was like 15 people in their small store front and shits was being grabbed by everyone. Kinda like a one of those toys store deals at cheristmas was funny actually.
