It would make setting of fix reflevels unnecessary (except when setting it to the lowest value) and be the better solution instead.
And regarding the use of attenuators, do I remember right that they should be positioned best in front of the other device instead at the output of the ADI-2 *?
XLR plug plus attenuator are quite long and in my case the distance to the wall is very close.
Yes, that will stress the XLR socket at the cabinet.....
1- XLRs are made to be stressed, don‘t worry.
2- In theory passive attenuators should be placed close to or at the destination device.
3- The simplest warning of too high level is: it’s too loud!
To 1) in my two locations it's not possible and I will not start bending the cable or rub the cable over the walls.
To 2) thanks for confirming.
To 3) in one of the two cases it would simply make operation over distance easier as I wrote already.
The upper volume limit sounds even better as it is more general and more fine grained, very good idea.
I think it would be a very useful feature, not having to use fix reflevels when it's not possible to use attenuators. And the max volume could also be set much more fine grained compared to fix reflevels or attenuators with switches in 10dB steps.
Thanks to the 4-way reflevel design there will be plenty of useful max volume settings possible before you enter the lowest reflevel.
This would also be useful in my case not to overload the E-600's input when auto reflevel is enabled.
All this makes operation from remote easier, you could even keep the volume + key pushed to quickly change to your highest listening level without having to watch ADI's display which can be challenging at distances
We also heard already somebody on forum (long time ago) telling, that he needs to make operation easier for family members who are no techies or audio needs. I think this might be also applicable to many other families even if ppl do not tell on forum.
I think that this would be an additional nice selling point for this device and most likely not too difficult or resource consuming to implement.
Would be nice from RME to consider this for the next round of changes, many thanks. As you can see there are use cases for this and interest from several forum members.
