[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 35693, member: 126"] Re: +4 dBu or -10 dBV? Thanks to a quick google search, the DC-24 is a dynamics processor and the +4dB position is unity gain... when set for -10dBV, they add approximately +12 dB of gain to the input, so every threshold setting will be shifted 12 dB by that switch. If the output doesn't get 12 dB quieter when you hit that switch, you were getting a bunch of compression in the -10dBV mode. If you prefer the cooler unity gain setting, you may be one of the rare few, who don't like louder and more distorted. Keep up the good work, it sounds like you may have potential... :-) JR [/QUOTE]
