Specifically with the following equipment:
Topping EX5 DAC/HP Amp/Pre-amp
Going into:
JBL 308P Monitors
Connected via XLR balanced, which @amirm measured in his review of the EX5 at 4Vrms over XLR balanced outs, rather than the usual 2Vrms RCA out..
What should I set the input sensitivity to on the monitors, +4dBu or -10dBV ?
I understand it's usually +4dBu for pro audio equipment and -10dBV for consumer equipment, but does the fact the the EX5 outputs at 4Vrms mean it's closer to pro than consumer?
I have no doubt I'll get some very technical and detailed answers, which is brilliant.
But just make sure there's an idiot's guide simple sentence in there which clearly says "Set it to +4dBu" or "Set it to -10dBV". I'm easily confused.
Many thanks in advance.
