Unbalanced vs balanced line input to the scope when measuring.
Does a tiny Behringer Xenyx 802 really put out over twice the output voltage than the fancy dancy digital X32 or M32 consoles do before clipping?
What happens to the outputs voltages when multiple inputs are driven?
Lets take a look!
This YouTube video explores the process of loading down the outputs of audio consoles and calibrating levels, with a focus on the Midas M32 and Behringer X32. The speaker encountered differential issues between the Xenyx and X32 and M32, but realized that the issue was with the measurement gear itself. They made a line balancing measurement adapter to solve the issue and calibrate levels accurately. The video then tests the maximum output of the Midas M32 and Behringer X32, finding that the Behringer has a bigger drop in output when loaded, but still has more output overall. The video concludes by summarizing the findings regarding the Xenyx output capacity, which was not disclosed in the spec sheet.
