Is my output volume to the board high enough?

    I'm wondering whether I'm jeopardizing my profile quality by not adjusting the output volume correctly.....

    I run straight to the mixer (Stereo)... I keep my output volume down around -15, my board input about 10 o'clock, the channels faders low at about 1/4 of the way up (no where near unity gain) and my main faders sit at about 50% up.

    I would think that my Kemper output being so low is "holding back" some of the profile's punch but if I turn the output volume up I have to cut the input gain and channel controls very low.

    I feel like I'm defeating the purpose one way or the other.....turn one up, the other down, and vice versa.

    I thought about using an attenuation box like the OX and run the profiler up high so as to cut the single a bit right before the board....but really not sure if that will make any difference...

    Any opinions out there?

    you should set the Profiler output level to a value that does not clip your mixing board inputs when you use the line level inputs on your board.

    With most outboard gear this is achieved with levels around -12 dB. If you use the Main outputs you can also activate the -12dB option in the output menu which will attenuate the signal level on the analog side. For the optimal settings of your mixing board you should consult the manual of that board to ensure optimal gain staging inside that unit. Using an attenuator box with the Profiler is pointless and if you connect it to the speaker output it will damage your Profiler and possibly also the attenuator box.
