Discussion about output levels

[Rex]

Not sure but I don't think those output settings will have any effect thru headphones - just when connected via output jacks.

Correct. +4 dBu and -10 dBV are line levels. The headphone out is... headphone level.

Depends what inputs it has - which model FRFR is it?

The manual is light on details, but given that it has XLR/TRS inputs and the manual does recommend using XLR or TRS cables, I suspect it's capable of receiving line level inputs, so unless you have a reason not to run at line level (for example, it's going through a snake with mics or other low level signals that are vulnerable to cross-talk ...) I suggest trying it at +4dB. If it's distorting the inputs on the Headrush and it's not convenient to attenuate them - either in the Fractal or otherwise - then run it at -10dB.

If I use FRFR what level is the most appropriate?

I use the +4 with the headrush 8". Works great and gives enough headroom to adjust for the sound guy or your own monitor.

As a new FM9 user, I was looking for similar advice for my Headrush 112s, so thanks for that.
