patrick2099 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I have a HD500x hooked up to a Yamaha DXR10, using an XLR cable. I have the master volume at 3 o'clock with channel levels typically around 3 o'clock, as well. I have to turn the volume on the DXR10 up to about one o'clock, just to get to decent Madison Square Living Room sound levels. If I use a Kemper, through XLR, set at -15db I can barely touch the volume on the DXR10 to get to a decent sound level. Same thing if I hook my cell phone up to the 1/4 input. I can put the volume on my phone at max, put the DXR10 at about 8 o'clock, and have it shaking the floor. I have no issue with the HD500x through the Line 6 DT25, using Line 6 link, so I'm 99% sure that I'm doing something wrong, but I can't quite figure out what. Does anyone have any possible idea as to why my levels are so low, using the HD500x with the DXR10? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 ...decent Madison Square Living Room sound level...Lmao. 😂 The XLR outs are mic level...that's your problem. The assumption is that those would be used to run to a mixer (rather than an amp), which would presumably have a mic/line switch on each channel, depending on the source. The 1/4" outs are line level, and quite a bit hotter (+4 dB, I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick2099 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 I set the DXR10 to mic level, and it made a huge difference. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
