    My balanced Input is quiet

    hi, for some reason my balanced stereo input is only half the volume of my rca inputs.

    Is there a setting or a dial that I have adjusted by mistake?

    I have a C2/A52.

    thanks

      I believe you lose some db w/XLR.

          When properly done, balanced XLR connections have a higher level.

              Has anyone used the Analogue monitor to boost volume?

              thanks

                  The balanced connections should be louder. Although not a true balanced system, the connections boost signal strength by 6dB.

                      What input? The input on the C2 or the input on the A52?

                      The A52 input has a switch on the rear panel that needs to be in the correct position for the connection used (RCA or XLR). If it's in the wrong position, the level will be incorrect. It sounds like this is the problem.

                      If the problem is with the C2 inputs, then it's probably a software setting issue. Load the PC software, or hook up the C2 to a monitor so that you can see all the settings in the menu...

                              Eh, ROCASI!, what's up with reviving a two month old question thread way past its time? The original poster probably either got an answer or has disposed of his unit by now...

                                  Sorry, didn't know the forum police had a maximum amount of time before posts became nul and void. I'll check with you next time to see if it is ok to post.

                                      hi, it ended up being a software setting.

                                      i.e. I adjusted the volume up for each channel on my LynxTwo mixer.

                                      thanks

                                          Hello.

                                          I am just about to take delivery of an SVS P2B+ subwoofer.

                                          Currently I have a Parasound C2 pre-amp processor.

                                          Connected to it are 7 mackie 624 active speakers.

                                          These are connected to Balanced outputs XLR to XLR connectors.

                                          Hi

                                          I connected the analog outputs from the CD player to the balanced input of the C2 while there was already connected and assigned a digital input from the same CD player. The balanced input was in bypass mode but sound was coming from the front center speaker as well. The whole sound...

                                          I finally pulled the trigger on purchasing an A52, and I wanted to ask a question, as I could not find the answer in the owner's manual. I wanted to see if I could have both RCA and XLR inputs connected on the A52. I know that there is a selector switch on the A52 as to what inputs to use, but will...
