Why are there different levels on the analog outputs?

Hello. The 560 ohm impedance is the same on analog outputs 1, 2, 3 and 4. But the output levels of outputs 1 and 2 are 6 dB lower than the levels of outputs 3 and 4. Why is this? In what practical case is it useful to have different output levels?

Did you check the output levels on the I/O Settings page? If there is a 6db difference (with 1&2 set the same as 3&4) then it may be because 1&2 are more likely to be sent to mic level inputs than 3&4 are. Fortunately, it’s all adjustable.

It’s just a function of the TRS balanced connection; it results in a a 6dB boost
