Which one of these 2 cables should be used for HD i/o connections?



a) D25 to Mono Jacks

b) D25 to Stereo Jacks

I'm planning to take each output from the HD i/o and put them each into my mixing desk's 16 channels for an external mix down. All the inputs on my mixer are balanced inputs.



Isn't it better to have the mono cable where the entire signal is sent down 1 connection and so that the signal is not split into 'high level' and 'low level' like it is on a stereo jack? or have I miss-understood something here?



Thanks everyone.
