XLR 34db gain vs RCA 28db - 04/25/15 11:07 AM
Since adding the 7500, marantz and larger and more efficient Klipsch towers, I have an Audyssey issue.
Towers are set at -9.5db upon completion, and center is bottomed out at -12db. Luckily, the center is matching well with the fronts SPL wise after talking with Audyssey, but the larger Klipsch center I intend on getting may be an issue.
A 6db inline attenuator was suggested, between the Marantz and 7500 for the center (may do all 3), but I am wondering if the gain difference in the XLR channel would be a better move (use balanced instead of unbalanced). Or would that do nothing/make things worse?
Thanks.
