Nashville 400 and XLR Out

Post by Mike Wilson »

Can an XLR direct out be put in a Nashville 400? If so, what is involved?

This is what Pevey made in the late '70s to solve that problem. It borrows from the speaker out a signal and converts
it. They work pretty well. They're available everywhere for about 25 bucks.

Thanks John I'll have to look into that. I can't understand why they they didn't put one on the 400's as they did the 112's. Maybe they just weren't a thing back then.

A simple DI Box is the easiest way to go XLR.
NV400 PreAmp Out to DI, then XLR cable to mixer

Did it for years and at most of the backline amps at steel shows.

And yes, XLR out was not popular when the NV400 was invented.
AUTHORIZED George L's, Goodrich, Telonics and Peavey Dealer: I have 2 steels and several amps. My current rig of choice is 1993 Emmons LeGrande w/ 108 pups (Jack Strayhorn built for me), Goodrich OMNI Volume Pedal, George L's cables, Goodrich Baby Bloomer and Peavey Nashville 112. Can't get much sweeter.
