Author Topic: Mod 2C and DA-20 levels Philip Wittlief Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Chicago, IL Registered: May 2003 posted 02-20-2004 03:24 PM                        I've got a Smart MOD IIC and a DA-20 for our digital reader. I can't find a way to set the level of the digital sound. The Mod IIC says to set it with the external digital unit, and the DA-20 only refers to setting the levels on the processor. Am I missing something or is there just no way to change the digital audio level?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-20-2004 08:20 PM                     I believe the Mod2c digital level is fixed inside the processor and It should be close if you provide 300mv to the input  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-20-2004 11:59 PM                     I'd be willing to bet that either your A chain or B chain is not set up properly....perhaps even both of them..... The DA20 has a fixed level output. Mark @ CLACO  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

There is no internal digital level adjustment on the MOD 2C, and of course the DA-20 output level is also fixed. If you are seeing significant differences, let me know, and we will try to come up with a solution.  |  IP: Logged
