studio monitor setup

    Just wondering what is the best setting for my studio monitors as they have a input sensitivity setting of either +4dBu or -10dBv and in the kemper spec it says

    Analog Outputs MAIN OUTPUTS L and R: XLR balanced 1/4 inch TS unbalanced with ground lift, max output level: XLR +22dBu, TS +16dBu

    I have the main out put using TS jacks to my monitors at max out put level as specified as TS +16dBu

    so is it ok to use the +4dBu setting as this makes the sound coming out of the monitors much brighter, clearer and more volume

    regards Robbymust

    I use +4dBu as it is considered to be the professional level grade and my equipment all support XLR connections. You "usually" need to use +4dBu with balanced cables (TRS, XLR).

    I use the Main XLR outputs of the Kemper to my monitors or my audio interface. Depends on the situation.

    Not sure I can respond to your exact question though... +4dBu is significantly louder that -10dBv.
