I'm not convinced that setting your machine up for extreme elevated levels will gain much in the way of performance, especially if you intend to use dbx I NR. Regardless, 3db hotter than 250nWb/meter is as high as I'd attempt. You changed your cards but not your heads and they might not...

I'll take real drums over electronic every time.

The manuals for these units should have install instructions. Don't go in without info unless you are very resourceful if something goes awry.

How big a deal is it to remove the meter bridge from the system to see if the problem is caused by the bridge or is in the console itself?

Does it behave like this on all outputs, including headphones?

Your master fader and/or the insert points for the L/R busses may be dirty. With the board off, burnish the insert points with by plugging a trs connector in & out a few times. Exercise the L/R fader as well to loosen up any crud that may be there. Spraying them with contact cleaner may also...

Check the ribbon connectors from bridge to mixer. Make sure they are seated properly.

It looks like there are some switches on the meter bridge's right side. What do they do?

Yes, and you'll need the control room pot up and your monitor out connected to an amp/speaker set up.

Do you have the L/R monitor switch on?

Put the piano on a platform and isolate it as best you can from the floor.

I agree the OP needs to learn how to use what he already has. I'm fully aware that any interface with a mic input has a built-in mic preamp. Your statement, "a preamp isn't needed," is what I was responding to. Had I seen the term, "outboard," I would not have entered this discussion...

You 1st state a preamp isn't needed but now you say it is. The only mics that don't need preamps are line level units which as far as I know, aren't made anymore.

A preamp isn't needed? On what planet?

The mics are worth keeping. The Mona needs a computer with an empty PCI slot to work.

Where are your input trims? Have you tried connecting the aux outs to a something other than the Behringer? Does the Behringer have an input sensitivity switch?

I see 4 stereo aux outs on the back of that 520. A quick look at an online manual shows master faders for them. Have you read the manual?

Are you saying there are no aux masters on your board?

I'm assuming the 520 has both input trim and aux master out controls. Initial individual input pre fader gain to the aux rail is dependent on where the input trim is set. Final output gain for everything sent to a given aux bus will depend on that aux master's out setting.

Without a test tape, you are chasing your tail. Don't mess with anything until you get one.
