Peavey XR 8600 mixer into Canon XL2... Best way to do this?

   I am trying to input directly from a Peavey XR 8600 mixer into my Canon XL2 and thought I can do this with XLR to XLR cable... It looks as though I was wrong. Any help?

    You are right - it appears the 8600 has only RCA jacks. You can get a Y cable to bring those two down to a 3.5 mini. I think the GL2 has one of those inputs.

   Can I get an appropriate output signal from the monitor jack if I can get the correct XLR end into the Canon XL2?

    P. 15 of the instruction book for the 8300/8600 indicates none of your outputs are balanced (so not a direct match for XLR) and your MAIN and MONITOR outputs are the same for impedance. What isn't apparent to me is if the MONITOR is a stereo mix out (1/4") and I don't know what the XL2 is spec'd for on it's 1/8" input. It may be just as easy as a 1/4" from the monitor to the XL2 1/8" - but it would be mono in that case. So, to the above suggestion, I'd add... try a 1/4" stereo to 1/8" stereo path cord.
