[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 92522, member: 67"] Re: What in the world is he talking about? He's telling you his mixer is operating at what is nominally a "consumer audio" level, much like the components of a home stereo system (if you remember those). The other typical level is "+4" and is typically considered a professional device level that may, in fact, be much hotter. Some DJ CD players and mixers are capable of outputs up to +18. The higher the level and greater the LF content of the program material, the larger a passive DI's transformer must be for undistorted sound. Those DIs are expensive. He's telling you, very indirectly, that common passive DIs will probably be acceptable and that his mixer has 2 1/4" outputs. He's saying he needs a 2'x4' table for his stuff (and that table probably isn't your problem, but ask your client if they have it for Mr. DJ). It would be nice if you ran an extension cord and power strip to his table, along with the DI lines. Be prepared to supply the 1/4" patch cables, too. [/QUOTE]
