MP3 recording from PA System

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

We have recently purchased an MP3 recorder to make CD's of speakers. I
purchased necessary jacks from Radio Shack, but on playback there is a
big hum. What I think is happening is we are only getting a mono
recording resulting in the hum on the dead channel. Is there any way
to solder the one channel into the mono jack as to get sound on both
channels? Any other assistance would be appreciated!

Then you would hear the hum only on one channel.

Is that the case?

How do you connect the recorder to the PA?

What kind of recorder?

Are you connected to the mic jacks of the recorder or the line in jacks?
