littlespaceman Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 There’s a lot of discussion about how the Quad Cortex volume functions as a master output attenuator and is designed to be set at 100% (unity gain) for most live and recording applications’. Is the Helix Stadium volume different, and it’s absolutely fine to operate it at whatever volume level suits you / your situation? Or should you be trying to leave it at, say, 0.0dB, and change the volume levels at the mixer (or whatever the sound source is)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 To my understanding the issue boils down to signal-to-noise ratio. Like Quad Cortex, the Stadium delivers the optimum ratio to the receiving equipment at 0db (unity gain). so depending on who's operating the receiving equipment and their preferences/workflow (FOH at gig?) this may be what they want. Or not, and they will guide you otherwise. If you're alone at home it doesn't really matter. If you hear noise at your preferred volume listening level tun up the Stadium output and turn down you speakers/monitors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
