I notice some audio interfaces have either XLR and 1/4" TRS balanced
inputs,
or both. The MOTU 896HD has mainly XLR while the MOTU 828mkII has mainly
TRS. My question is, can Mics be plugged into balanced TRS inputs?
XLR-TRS
cables?

Say I had a 828MKii and wanted to record 3 mics, it only has 2 XLR inputs

I've never seen anything with a TRS mic input. I'd assume it was a line in
if TRS. Get a preamp. Behringers are about $100 for 2 ch's.
