Is your monitoring destination a +4dBu or –10dBV line-level device? Most professional equipment uses +4dBu as the nominal level, and most consumer equipment uses –10dBV as the nominal level. From the Aurora front panel or external control software, you can establish the appropriate input and output trim levels for your equipment. At the –10dBV setting, output levels will decrease by 12.2dB.

In addition, output levels for the Aurora can be managed from the remote control software. Since level attenuation with the Aurora’s internal mixer occurs in the digital domain, it is ideal to keep the output levels at maximum and adjust for a comfortable listening level from your monitoring destination (i.e. mixer, power amp, etc.) to preserve the optimum signal quality.
