Re: [LAD] [ot] rme fireface: weird balanced output measurements

fons, gene, thanks for your insights, particularly about the problems of AC rms meters at audio frequencies - i was totally ignorant of this, and i'd have shot myself in the foot with this eventually. fons, after i read your remark i asked around, and yes, the ff800 does indeed use servo-driven outputs, so the voltage difference is intentional and no cause for concern. i'll definitely investigate the level differences between channels, but as you said, i'd better do that with a sound card rather than a meter. gene, would love to follow your scope advice (particularly for the beneficial effects on gonads), and i'm looking out for one, but i'm not really prepared to pay much. in any case, it's way sexier than one of those usb sampling gadgets sold for a scope these days... maybe i'll find a nice, simple one in a dumpster somewhere. nice to get you two guys into another discussion about signal transmission - very instructive! best, jörn btw: yes, the folkwang address seems to have expired at last. the la* lists were the last things i used it for, and i have now resubscribed from my own mail domain. so please ditch that old one from your address books if you want to get in touch off-list. -- Jörn Nettingsmeier Lortzingstr. 11, 45128 Essen, Tel. +49 177 7937487 Meister für Veranstaltungstechnik (Bühne/Studio) Tonmeister (VDT) http://stackingdwarves.net
