Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

One of the uses we would have had for the PM is for live preformance recording, where we would take console direct outs into the line inputs. We do a decent amount of this, and corrently use a pair...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

Except for the -10dbV input sensitivity on the line inputs I think the ProjectMix is awesome, and in general I think M-Audio gear is some of the best midline stuff going, a very good value for the...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

The difference between -10dbV sensitivity in or outputs and +4dbu in or outputs is approx 11.2db difference in level. The same device output will yield approx 11.2db less output level with the output...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

OK I guess then all those devices with sensitivity on inputs and outputsswitching between +4/-10 are just fake switches, and the changes in levels (both in and out) are just imaginary.

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

Input and output sensitivities are referenced to either -10dbV or +4dbu. -10dbV is referred to as consumer level, whereas +4dbu is referred to as pro level. Any 1st semester audio student knows this.

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

Provided the souce output sensitivity (not level) is -10dbV.

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

Well you can p*ss around on what this converter does and that converter does, the bottom line is the ProjectMix line inputs are -10dbV sensitivity, and cannot handle proper nominal levels from a...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

Typical converter 0dbu references are in the -18 to -12dbfs range, with max input levels to +28dbu. dbV and dbfs are not equivalent measurments, and vary from converter to converter.

Perhaps you...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

Not even remotely close. dbu and dbfs are not 1 for one equvalent.

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

That's not input sensitivity, thats the converters dbu referennce to dbfs. It's also a weird way for them to reference, as typically it would be 0dbu referenced to -Ndbfs, where N is the dbfs below 0...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

You need to talk to level 3 support to confirm the flaw/oversight/misdesign. I have, several times, and so has my Pro Audio Rep. It's nto a secret, and yes it is a fact.

AFA adapters, anything in...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

M-Audio does not list the input sensitivity of the line inputs in theor literature.
If you've owned the PM for 4 months you're most likely stuck with it unfortunately.
This isn't so much a flaw as...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

You cannot connect the XLR line outs to the XLR preamp inputs, as the PM pres have no pads. Furthermore, if your run the preamps outs into the line inputs and achieve normal (nominal 0db or greater...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

Run that tone into an outboard pre that is +4dbu sensitivity output, set the output level to 0db, and plug that into the line input of the PM and watch the red lights light up like christmas trees. ...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

If they were +4dbu sensitivity, that would be correct, however they are -10dbV sensitivity currently, so they will clip with a nominal 0db input from a +4dbU source.

Nowhere in the PM liturature...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

Again, this is meaningless. At what level? At -15db this would not clip, however at a nominal 0db it will. However running your mic pre so it only outputs -15db is going to sound completely different...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

Again, this is a design flaw in the ProjectMix line inputs sensitivity only. You can use the line inputs with -10dbV line sources without issue, however you cannot route +4dbu line level outputs run...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

Again, this means nothing. You need to set your nominal PFL level to 0dbu. If you do, you'll see the inputs of the ProjectMix light up like the 4th of July, especially if you're plugging a +4dbu line...

Re: ProjectMix line inputs -10?

NOT!!!
A TRS-XLR adapter is going to do NOTHING to resolve the mismatched sensitivity between a +4dbu line output and the Project Mix's -10dbV line inputs. Adapting a +4dbu line level TRS signal to...
