flanger68 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hello Community: to those of you who do gigs with the Line6 PA system: what levels do you set on the Master out on the M20d, and where do you set the Level pot on the M3M/Ts facing the audience ? In medium/small venues i mean...bars, small stages... Is it better to keep it high on the mixer ( -10dB ?) and low on the speakers...or keep the speaker level knob on the middle notch position, and then adjust on the mixer...sorry for the maybe mundane question but i got no experience live with this PA and will have some in the near future possibly... And no, i can't try this at home!:-) Cheers, Alberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I keep the speaker levels notched in the middle and vary the mixer output level to suit the room. If I do the gain staging properly in the mixer (channel input trim and levels) this method has always been OK for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flanger68 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Cool! In my hime studio (which is 100 square meters) i keep the L3Ms in the notched mid-position, and on the mixer i can't go above -24 dB, it gets too loud already :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 small rooms I will run my speaker levels down to about a 25% so that I can get a bit more level on the mains...It helps get the MainLR recording a bit more nominal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flanger68 Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 Lovely spaceatl...to what levels do you get on the M20d main out ? -20dB ? -10dB ? Cheers, a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Seems to be around -10 or -6...just depends on how small the room is...The trims on my speakers get really sensitive down that low...but it really helps the noise floor on the recording... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
