Resurrecting this old discussion about analog output levels on the Omni...
I'm looking into getting an Omni and feeding the outputs 1-6 to a surround receiver which has power for passive speakers. I'm assuming the receiver uses the "consumer" -10dbV operating level so I wouldn't want to feed it the +24dBu-peak line level out of the Omni.
So could the +10dBu peak out level be considered roughly analogous in practical use to the -10dBV nominal operating level? Those conversions still throw me off.
Appreciate it if you or someone can confirm for me.
