Hey all, I brought home a sweet pair of Event ASP8's.
I'm still running my trusty fresh-out-of-the-shop 388, and mixing to a Harman-Kardon CDR-20, consumer grade burner (24/96). The problem is, the CDR-20 is -10dbV consumer level outputs. I have it fed directly to the ASP8's. I have the monitor input trim all the way down, and they still crank out over 80db. (no sh*t, huh..)
So, is there any simple, effective, and affordable device which will lower the signal before it hits the Monitors???? (and keep the sound true)?
I know the 388 has balanced outs, which would be soooo simple to run to the monitors, but... I like to add a touch (or more) of compression before hitting the converters in the burner, and I wouldn't get to here that through the Montiors.
Also the fact that to get to know the monitors, I need to spend some time listening to major release stuff...
