jad99888 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Any one having this issue with their HD500X, When i use a unbalanced or balanced XLR cable to my monitors i get a volume drop, by 1/2 comapred to the 1/4" cables to the same monitors.

phil_m Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 This is by design. The XLR outputs are at mic level since it's assumed people will plugging them into a channel strip with a preamp. The 1/4" outs are at line level, assuming you have the amp/line switch set to line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The twho following types have the same result ? 1) 1/4" outs (with POD's amp/line switch set to line) plugged into monitor with monitor's "line/mic" switch set to line 1) XLR outs (with POD's amp/line switch set to line) plugged into monitor with monitor's "line/mic" switch set to mic I'm afraid that the preamp of my monitor changes the tone of POD Sorry for my english.
