I have a D&R Orion with main outs on a single XLR L-R-Gnd

The problem is that 0db on the 2 buss meters = -12 on the input meters on
my
(Dynaudio) Amp. I thought the unbalanced thing only cost 6db but either
way,
what can I do to reclaim that volume?

What is the reference level the amp is set for? And what is the reference
level coming out of the Orion?

I don't know but I know my tape deck was calibrated to +9 and the levels
were set from there. This was before I bought this amp. Is it something I
can check with a multimeter?


And why do you need to turn the amp up any louder anyway?

Crush - Kill - Destroy!

Seriously, the amp is running almost 650 watts a side (it's rated 650@4ohms
but my BM6's are rated at around 5 ohms I think) and it's just "getting"
loud when it's cranked. It seems like it should be able to knock people down
on the rare occassion I want to.
