Re: Question about headroom with dj mixers


Head room is a poorly understood concept in mixer design, and the simple answer is no... If a DJ mixer even remotely affected how loud it could make the system, what loudness crazed DJ would ever buy it?


Pretty much all mixers use similar PS rail voltage, so are capable of similar output voltages. All power amps are designed so they can be driven past full rated power with typical mixer feeds.


Dj mixers often have only a loose connection between front panel meter level reading and actual output voltage (check for a rear panel output trim).
