Foccustire Saffire 6 not loud enough to Gig with?
Foccustire Saffire 6 not loud enough to Gig with? Posted on: 23.02.2013 by Jeannine Drobney so I tried gigging with Reason, Ableton, Papens Sub Boom Bass and had great success with the software but my focusrite saffire was cranked all the way up into the mixer and it wasn't loud enough compared to my compatriots S4 or NI AUdio 2. Could it be because the unit is USB powered? Similar to the Novation twiitch not being loud enough because it is USB powered?Anybody else have good loud sound card recommendations? Anybody else have a similar issue with the foccusrite saffire 6? | |

| Jeannine Drobney 24.02.2013 | 1. I was using the TRS 1/4" 2. i was running into this Allen and Heathah.jpg, the line input. Its not my mixer so I was relying on my compadre to make sure I was loud enough. I am believeing his gain work was shit. I will not go an sell my Foccusrite then. I will keep it. Thank you for your advice. |

| Jeannine Drobney 24.02.2013 | So it seems the ladies and gentlemen of the jury conclude RCA's should do the trick just fine, above and beyond the 1/4" in this particular set up. |

An average cd through a cdj just about peaks with the gain at 12 o'clock. I believe you can cue monitor channels 1 and 2, not 100% tho will try tomorrow when i'm at work. Also i'm half asleep here but which other DJ mixers have balanced inputs?? I can't believe of any |

| Jerica Salava 23.02.2013 | Utter WANK ! Input Connections Type Impedance Sensitivity CH1,2 IN (Mic) Balanced XLR female 2k ohm -45 to –15dBu (Stereo Line) Unbalanced TRS jack >10k ohm -15 to +15dBu CH3,4,5,6 (Phono) RCA phono RIAA 47kohm/330pF 2 to 100mV (Stereo Line) RCA phono >10k ohm -10 to +10dBu |
| Doreen Schurle 23.02.2013 | Those Allen & Heaths (Xone:62, right?) are wank; we've got one at the club I play Mondays and the gain on all channels practically has to be on max before you get an acceptable level out of them with normal line inputs. I'm quite lucky in that the output from my RMX-40 (and my Contours, for that matter) are pretty high, but my mate who uses an American Audio VMS4 really struggles with his levels. Also, be aware that there's no balanced input on the 62; you'll have to go into Channels 3-6 using unbalanced RCAs. |
