4 xlr from an xl1 ..help?

i have been receiving dv tapes from event videographers for the first time this year... if they used an m100 i would run the dv off gv-d900 into my firewire card and then separate the channels in soundforge, usually a wireless mic on one channel and a boom, or shotgun on another, then import into premiere look for my markers and edit...well no problem..
i got a call from someone who said he had 4 channels on one dv tape, each one balanced, what do i do now, do i need to get an xls and use xlr inputs to get the balanced audio, or can i get the audio from the dv tape... if i can get the 4 channels, how do they come in, two audio streams, with balanced channels of audio?...does anyone know?

is there a better way to seperate the audio streams in premiere? soundforge was the only way i could figure it out...

Depends on your editing system, for instance with my Canopus DV Rex RT, I can easily capture four channels of audio (12 bit 32 khz audio) in one pass... you don't have to buy an XL1S, just a editor capable of capturing four channels.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the XL1s has balanced audio.

thats correct... The XL1 and the S don't have balanced
audio inputs.. you can get it though with an optional
XLR adaptor!

Good luck
