As I write this, I'm sitting in front of a Rivendell machine with an M-Audio Delta 192 card that supposedly puts out balanced audio at +4 dBm. It feeds a Broadcast Tools SS16.4 switcher that chooses among Rivendell, a live studio feed, and several remote feeds, all of which are nominally +4 dBm.

The Rivendell output is typically 6 to 10 dB lower than the other sources. This would not normally bother me, but all the Rivendell machines I've built, whether with Audioscience cards or some other professional grade card, seem to put out audio at levels well below +4.

At one station, I have the AudioScience card output on the Rivendell machine feeding a Radio Systems console input strapped for consumer level, as otherwise the operators complain about having to turn the gain all the way up.

Is it just me? Or has anyone else experienced this?
