Output Level and Output Connection
Connect your preamplifier to the output connectors of the MEDEA. Use either the symmetrical
(balanced) lines (XLR) or the asymmetrical (unbalanced) lines (RCA). Symmetrical is preferred,
provided your preamplifier supports symmetrical connection.
The output level is set via the "high / low" switch on the backpanel and via the trim potentiometers
on the frontpanel. For output levels between +15dBu and +27 dBu symmetrical (or +9dBu and
+21dBu asymmetrical) set the switch to "high". For all other levels set it to "low". These output
level figures are reached for 0dBFS at the input of the DAC1.
The factory preset of the output levels is for 0dBu asymmetrical (or +6dBu symmetrical). This
setting will be ok for most applications. If necessary adjust the output level with the help of a small
screwdriver for the appropriate value. Only switch to “high” (on the backpanel) when the required
level can not be reached by turning the trim potentiometers fully clockwise. Note that the trim
potentiometers are multiturn types, i.e. you may have to turn several revolutions in order to reach
the maximum level.
Be careful when switching between “low” and “high” positions, as the MEDEA is capable
of outputting very high signal levels!
