I believe they come from the factory at -18. Just leave it IMO.

That really depends on what you're going to do. For many post applications -20 is the way to go. Are you running the interface with others such as 96io lynx apogee? Then match the level.

I run my 192s at -24db for max headroom.

Hope that helps.

Janmuths,

Thanks you.
