Hello, I received my first set of studio monitors this morning, the JBL LSR305's and am loving them.
However, I have a question, which I need to know before I change anything incase I damage the speakers.
There is a setting for +4DbU, or -10DbV. -10DbV is much louder than +4, I only have to set the volume on my interface to around halfway for reasonable sound levels, while on +4 I have to have the interface output at near maximum for reasonable volume levels.
I spoke to the shop, and they said this is odd as +4DbU is unity, and should be louder. Both speakers are the same though, so maybe the switch is labelled wrong.
I really want to be able to listen at reasonable levels, and also crank things sometimes to check how my music sounds at louder volumes, so it seems -10DbV is the one to go for.
I'm not sure I should though, as I am using TRS to XLR leads which is a balanced connection? Is there any harm in setting it to -10DbV and leaving it there?
Thanks, Conan.
