Hi Roel,
I suspect what you are experiencing is 'normal'. Because of the 
exponential response, the A-131 can chuck out a greater voltage than 
the A-130 (at least it is from mine, which is the newer one, 
marked 'v2 2001'). A lot of course depends on size of input voltage 
after attenuation and the gain setting, but for 5V in, the most I can 
get out of the A-130 is about 4.5V, whereas the the A-131 can pump 
out almost 9V. Note also that on the A-131 the 2 inputs have 
different sensitivities - you should get more 'umph' out of 'In 2' 
than you do for 'In 1'.
