JBL305p suggested dBu input

[ShiZo]

My JBL305p's have a max peak input of 20.3 dBu and I was curious what you all think I should output to it with my RME ADI 2/4 Pro SE

From memory, its input overloads very easily. I don't have an exact number for you but I would opt for pretty low levels.

The last time I hooked (balanced 4V)) a SMSL C200 at 0 dBFS I was using the 305P at low gain with the volume knob at 8.

What would you suggest sending to it? 15.5 dbu?

From memory you do not want to get anywhere near the specified +20.3 dBu peak, so probably even less. And turn down the volume as it probably has some excess gain.
