[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 98998, member: 114"] Re: Dirty power wrecking the sound... The DJM800 product information shows the three prong grounded IEC connection for the power, are you saying this one does not have that? If you are trying to adapt the XLR outputs on the mixer to RCA inputs then note that the DJM800 manual states "When using a cord with RCA-type plug, users are recommended to connect the plug directly to the MASTER 2 connectors without using an XLR/RCA converter plug." So are you comparing the 'Master 1' XLR output level to the 'Master 2' RCA output level? According to the DJM800 specs both outputs are the same nominal +2dBu output level, although the maximum level is +22dBu for the XLR 'Master 1' out and +20dBu for the RCA 'Master 2' out, so there should be no difference between those. If you are using the Samson S-Convert to try to covert the XLR outputs to RCA note that it is also intended to convert nominal +4dBu balanced signals to -10dBV unbalanced signals, about a -11.8dB difference. And apparently even with the gain at maximum there is a 6dB loss between the XLR inputs and RCA outputs. [/QUOTE]
