balanced outputs

Hi. Does anyone know if the 990's balanced out are at +4db, or -10db?

I know that balanced outs are generally +4, but to my understanding that may not always be the case.

So if anyone knows if balanced outs are always +4db, or if not, if the 990 outputs are +4db or -10db, It would be great to get a definite answer.

I appreciate any help i can get.

Outlaw Ben will need to answer this one.

It won't quite break down that easy for consumer gear, like the Model 990 or even our Model 975. If you are feeding a recording interface, the appropriate setting would be +4dBu. -10dBV would only be expecting some where around 300 - 320mV - wouldn't surprise me if the Model 990 overloaded that input stage as it is capable of outputting over 1V.

Thanks for the help!

I recently got a Behringer Inuke1000DSP amplifier to power my subwoofer, and I was worried the output from the 990 wouldn't be powerful enough. After setting it up, it works great. Holy crap the Inuke is a big step up from the old 300 watt plate amp I was using before.

Thanks again.

I feed my 990 L-R outputs to a pro digital crossover which has its 0 dBfs point at +22 dBu. The 990 is able to clip the crossover, so the outputs have great headroom (the spec is 9Vrms max). There won't be issues with *any* downstream components.
