I had some questions about the output levels, and was curious how you guys are using yours. I read through the manual, and I noticed that you can set the output to -10dBV or +4dBu.
I know default is -10dBV. When would I switch to +4dBu? What is considered pro grade equipment that calls for +4dBu? Would that be to front of house to a console like an Allen & Heath or X32? Or would that be studio preamps/line in etc?
One thing I notice is that if I go 1/4" Line In on my interface (Focusrite Saffire Pro 40), I have to turn the output knob up all the way up on the FM9 and then still go past noon on the preamp to get a good signal (my tones are tickling the red in Axe Edit, and I generally go for -15 to -12 in the DAW). Is this a scenario when I should switch the FM9 to +4dBu?
How are you guys running your output knobs too? I generally leave mine at noon. Just curious how you guys are rolling and if you're changing it for different situations and what situations -10dBV or +4dBu would be called for.
