Levels on unit don't match GUI

Seems that no matter how hard I am pushing my system, the input/output levels on the DR260 only light one bar, yet on the computer, they show much higher levels. Is there a setting I am missing?

Hmmm :?
Somewhere I have read that there are internal jumpers for boosting gain, but this uncalibrates the LED's. Have you done that? Are you the original owner?


Oh... Gadget? :?: :?: :?:

You rang?
I believe it is the ballistics of the meter...the LCD/crt reacts much faster than the LED meters on the unit.. I too have seen this and I use the GUI as my default. You can adjust the input levels on the 260 to optimize the display but anything around -o- vu on the GUI is good.. NO CLIPPING though...

Would pink noise (so the meters won't bounce) be a good test for comparison?

I'm the original owner and have not changed any jumpers. Other DR260 units I have seen don't have this problem.

Dra

Something to try. Set your limiters at -0- / infinity, then push it into limiting. Are you still getting nothing above the lowest LED but the limit indicators ignited?

Yes DRA that should tell you if the meter is at fault..

soundguycevinm, is the unit still under warranty?

I'll try that this weekend, of course with the amps off

I, also, get the high end hiss from the DR260, goes away when I mute the output. Any suggestions? I am changing out all of my amps after this weekend, so it would be a good time to calibrate everything.

Gainstructure...

C, have you by chance done an Auto-EQ? If yes, then your upper hz may be pegged causing the hiss. :?
