Can anyone tell me the maximum input level that an older model Aphex
Dominator (model 700) can handle? Thanks.

My newer one can handle +26dBu that's a lot higher than most boards
can put out.

Thanks, Richard. I read the spec's for the current model 720 Dominator
and the FOH mixer I'm using does indeed max out at +26 dB (Allen and
Heath GL-2800). However I'm installing an older model 700 Dominator at
the venue where I work and unfortunately Aphex doesn't archive
anything once a model is discontinued. Maybe another r.a.p. reader has
a model 700 manual sitting around somewhere and can confirm whether or
not the older Dominators can handle that same input level (in an
abslute worst case scenario of course). Thanks again.

I didn't answer at first because I thought maybe you were thinking to
buy one, and my suggestion wouldn't help you. Since you've got it
already, just hook it up and try it. Put a tone into the console, crank
it up so that the meters just pin, and see if that causes the Dominator
to clip.

Simple.

Thanks, Mike. You're right. That is more than likely how I will end up
having to test it out when I go in to install it next week. I'll check
back and let you all know if I learn anything unusual or interesting
about the unit.
