Greetings, I'm the new guy on the block...... I just recently bought an Emax Rack from Ebay, and have come across a problem. My outputs are sending out a weak signal in comparison to what I'm putting into it when I sample. The output level was sent into ProTools and analyze at -40db????? So, I tested all cables and then realized no matter what kind of cord I used, balanced or unbalanced, I would have to plug the cord half way in order to get it to play at -20db. Now that I have a hotter signal it's still weak as hell. I did a recalibration on the data and volume sliders and I'm getting wierd values such as "pre minimum:1004 and post:0" all the way down, and, "pre minimum:284 and post: 355" all the way up? now does this have anything to do with it????? And the problem I experienced with the outputs I've had with the input, I have to plug that in half way too and see a drastic difference in the VU screen. Other that everything works flawlessly. Someone PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! Do any of you think it's worth trying to fix.... or should I just return it? I'd probably get the seller to fix it. Let me know, Thanx, MKR
