I finally picked up some new monitors, the Event TR-8XLs. I've got them connected to my A6|2m. The A62m manual states that it outputs at 1Vrms or ~+2.2dBu (page 20). The tr8s have input sensitivity knobs on the back that run from -20dB to "MAX". The event manual says that when the control is set to MAX, 0.25V RMS at the unbalanced in (which I'm using) "will produce full amplifier output." So how should I set the knob so that I don't overload the speakers? I've got a chart that shows 1 volt to fall somewhere between 2dBu and 3dBu (reference 0.775 volts) and .25 volts to be about -10dBu. Are these voltages the same as Vrms? Should I set the input sensitivity knob to -13dBu? When the A62m manual says that it outputs 1Vrms does that mean that when I've got the output volume in Audio MIDI Setup set to 0dB and am just under 0.0 on my output meter in Logic that I'm getting 1Vrms? Obviously I'm a little confused about all of this :) Is there a good book or magazine article that might help me out? Thanks... Wes
