I'm using balanced outputs, I have lots of XLR cables for my recording studio. I don't remember if the jumpers control both balanced and RCA, or just one or the other. I wacked 20dB off. Just checked the benchmark site, they have the manual online, they call it "XLR Output Attenuation Jumpers (P5, P6, P7 and P8)" I did not use the ten turn attenuation pots. Overdriving the preamp caused easily audible distortion. Reducing it clearly improved my sound quality. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
