Default Trident Series 65 upgrades

Direct outs are unbalanced with a maximum output of +21 dbu. The master mix outputs are balanced with a maximum output of +26 dbu. Many pro converters require +20 dbu for 0 db digital. That means you need to adjust the converter's input sensitivity up or risk clipping the console. The TLO71 opamps used in the direct outputs are not capable of driving loads below 2 k ohms without rising THD. There are also no series resistors in the direct outputs so capacitive loads from cables, etc, will cause ringing and maybe oscillations. Install a 50~100 ohm resistor ( there is a jumper that can be pulled for this) to avoid loading problems, install a LME49710NA opamp to drive 600 ohm transformer input loads and lower noise as well.


Anyone has done this mod????

Best for all
