I/O Settings
You can set the level (-10dBV or +4 dBu) for each pair of analog outputs and the input
gain setting for each pair of analog inputs.
An output setting of +4 provides the most output and is compatible with professional
audio gear. Balanced output cables provide a +6dB hotter signal than unbalanced cables
when used with balanced inputs.
Do NOT use balanced cables unless your other gear
has balanced inputs.
See
“Cables - balanced or unbalanced?”
in the Appendix for more
information.
An input setting of -10 is compatible with consumer audio gear and works best with low
level signals. (-10dBV is approximately 12dB lower than +4dBu.) Choose the setting that
allows you to send or receive a full scale signal without clipping.
Setting correct input and output levels is important!
You can measure the level of an
input by inserting a meter into the first effect location in the strip. Adjust your external
equipment outputs for the optimum signal level. See
“To Set the Input Levels of a Strip”
for details.
