I always treat the 2101 XLR's as line level (otherwise you'd be preamping a preamp). The cab emulation is just some preset EQ afaik. I've had different experiences using different cabling with different mixers, sometimes using XLR to tip/sleeve and sometimes tip/ring/sleeve. I keep both cables handy for the different scenarios (once I used tip/sleeve and for some reason only got all-wet signal from the 2101). Usually the T/R/S works well. Your mileage may vary.

Subject: [gsp-2101] XLR Outs
All 2101'ers,
I am trying to use the XLR out to send signal to Digi002 line. There does not seem to enough signal (gain) at the 002 fader. The 2101 manual only says that the Outs are line level. I assume that this means -10dBV, but wanted to be sure this is correct?
Also: Is tip/ring/sleeve the only Balanced 1/4" cable jacks config. there is?
Also: Does the spkr emulator affect the level of the XLR outputs?
One more dumb question (somewhat related): Is there a test to determine shielded cable? I cannot tell my cables apart. Someone shuffled them.
Thanks
