[QUOTE="Mick Berg, post: 72135, member: 2512"] Re: Gain I usually run DJ outputs through a DI box, even if their mixer has XLR outs. This knocks the signal down to mic level (ie drops it by 40db or so) so that even when they slam their outputs, you are still getting something sensible, and within the range of most console's pre-amps gain range. It makes it impossible to overload the console's inputs even when there's smoke coming out of their headphones. To be honest I wouldn't change the console design just to accomodate these "well-trained sound engineers", when there is a simple external fix. But that's just my opinion. Mick Berg. [/QUOTE]
