[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 82091, member: 67"] Re: X32 Discussion No, no no. DO NOT run input trim so the signal peaks much above -18DBFS... unless you want to run your master faders around -40. It's about what happens downstream of the mixer, as well. Every device has the potential to add gain (equalizers, compressors, system processors) and amplifiers have the sole job of adding gain. It is not necessary to use every available bit in a 24 bit digital word (least significant bits are routinely discarded or masked in processing) in order to get an acceptable S/N ratio and no PA system benefit is derived from doing so.
