Hi Everyone. I have a HifiRose 151 and I am testing the 280 amp. Does anybody know what the best pre-out level settings are for this combo? I use a XLR balanced cable between the 2.
- XLR: Fixed 4 Vrms
- RCA: Fixed 2 Vrms
If you look at the options… there is no voltage option for XLR only RCA.
That said… you’d want to use line level out and then use the AMP to control volume.
If you were going to amps that do not have any volume control, then you’d need to use software volume control and start with the default values.
The screen very much lists both balanced sand unbalanced options, with balanced being double the unbalanced level for each setting…
As @VIK mentions, 4Vrms for balanced connections is more or less standard and should work fine. If you find that 280 does not give you enough gain, you could bump it up a bit (or vice versa).
Yeah. Looked at it and saw the unbalanced. They put both on the same line.
my bad.
If you’re connecting the RS151 and RA280 via RCA, set the pre-out level on the RS151 to 1000mV or 2000mV and use whatever setting sounds best to you.
If you’re connecting the RS151 and RA280 via XLR, set the pre-out level on the RS151 to 2000mV or 4000mV and use whatever setting sounds best to you.
