[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 83144, member: 1285"] Re: Monitor out noise Hi Dan, I totally get your point of view, although in my world it is the difference between max level/nominal level and any noise that is the important relationship. I will however try to make a measurement that actually shows the true noise floor of the monitor outs, and thus any noise in relation to that noise floor. I don't disagree with you in your statement that all consoles might have this problem if you define the problem as being any discernible noise that rises above the white noise of the circuitry, but to me the problem is purely academical if that noise can't be heard. Since I'm able to turn the headphone outs to max without hearing a noise, and know without a doubt that at that setting my hearing will be severely suffering after a short time even at nominal level, and that 0dBFS at that setting will ruin both my headphones and my ears, I have to conclude beyond any doubt that my monitor outs are noise free for all intents and purposes. As far as measuring methodology goes, you haven't stated (today and to my recollection) what were the conditions of your measurements and what kind of time they are averaged over. What I was testing was the outputs without anything prior to the main fader turned up, and without making scene changes and other adjustments that will run the faders or provoke any noise from effects etc. If there are particular conditions or operations that aggrevates the problem, I'll try to replicate those, and certainly run the test at both sampling frequencies.
