Default Re: ProTools Reference Level Settings (+10 dBu vs +24 dBu)

The output reference level only affects the output level, not the level of what you are doing in Pro Tools. This setting is designed so that you can feed the output to other gear or an external monitoring controller at +24 peak. If you are going to feed powered monitors directly from the Omni, it's better to use the +10 peak setting so that you get full resolution with the volume control rather than blasting the speakers with the volume only up 25%.
