Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question or not but I'll try...
I play in a band and I would like to connect a sound activated strobe light controller to a direct line out of my mixer for the kick drum, so the strobe triggers when the kick drum is played. The strobe controller I would like to use does not have an audio input but rather an internal microphone on the PC board.
My question is, can one of these miniature PCB mics be removed from the board and replaced with a line level input simply by using an in-line resistor to reduce the signal or is something like this much more involved?
I realize that there are strobe controllers that have an audio input but they have many more features than I'll ever use, are much more expensive, and are too big in size to fit into my rack case.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
