I’m was about to buy an Alesis HD24 when I discovered that it ins and outputs have +4dB and is not switchable to -10dB.
My recording console, a Soundtracs Topaz Project 8, has the direct out and tape returns rated at -10dB.
How much problem would I have to get a hot enough signal on “tape” ? And if I give it a full blast, and succeed in given the recorder a hot enough signal, surely the signal would distort whn returning to the -10dB tape returns ?
Is it possible for the recorder and the console to have their -10dB/+4dB specs calibrated against a different 0dB and therefore be closer in level than it would seem ?
I would very much appreciate you opinions and suggestions.
Also, any comment from people with an Alesis HD24 and a -10dB console would be superb. Tell me how and if it works.
Yours sincerely
