how come the xlr on the mbe is really loud
Hi guys
Just got some xlr to rca converter plugs for the multibridge extreme and pluged my ear phone into them….And it was really load. When I plug the earphones them into the rca output of the mbe its sounds normal. Does the xlr outputs boost the output automaticly for a mixer or something?thanks

the XLR output is a professional level output – it is 14dB higher than a consumer RCA output. This is why I always tell everyone to get a MIXER, so you can adjust your levels. IF you want to see a set of powered speakers blow up real fast, directly plug the output of the BMD into the powered speakers without a mixer or attenuator in between. This difference in levels (-10 to +4dB, or consumer to professional levels) has been this way long before computer editing (and I mean even linear editing) was invented.
