Default UAD Arrow / TC Helicon Critical Mass / TASCAM US-16x08

I'm a bit lost with my HW ;

I'd like to connect my TC Helicon Critical Mass - Voice Processor to my UAD Arrow - interface .

Funnily there's no phantom power on the TC, so I need to connect my mic a MXL 990 - Condenser Mic to my TASCAM and take the signal from there to the TC and from there on to the UAD . Some how, though I'm most 100% sure, that I've got all set correctly I get no signal to the UAD ;
I get input on the TASCAM Settings Panel - App, but nothing is going to the UAD . I can't see any signal on the UAD's Console - App, neither on the UAD - HW .

I've got a TSR to XLR - going from the TASCAM to the TC and a XLR to XLR going from the TC to the UAD .

All I see about signal is nothing but low level, which I believe is of some kind of background noise .

Help Here ...

Thank You !!!

I wondering if the TSR to XLR cable is the problem. A mono to XLR might solve your problem. I presume you are going from the Tascam audio output to the UAD. Good luck.

Yes ... indeed it has onboard / inbuilt Phantom Power, but it's 24V ;
I need 48V for my MXL 990 .

I managed to get signal from the TASCAM through the TC to the UAD .
I checked the signal from TASCAM's Headphones Out and the signal was crystal clear on that end . But monitoring through the Critical Mass on the UAD sound is crackling, no matter whatever I tried .

I received support from Music Tribe / TC regarding the Critical Mass ;

Connect from your Mic directly to the interface input1.
Connect your interface output to the Critical Mass input.
Connect from the critical mass to input 2 of your interface. You should then hear the affect audio through input 2.

I did this and now I've ended up with a dead Critical Mass .
It used to power on with a PSU ; Now it's not turning on neither with a PSU or Batteries .

Waste Of Time / Waste Of Money
