By setting the MAIN L&R Output to -6dB you are putting your Montage at a level that the typical consumer level product is designed to handle. When you are having to use adapters or special cables to make things work, it is always best to do some investigating. You simply need to educate yourself on level matching, gain staging, and a few things about specifications. The Output Level on the Montage can be set for a wide array of use scenarios. I recommended you set your Montage Output accordingly. OK - but huh?Since I don't know exactly what mixer you own, I just posted an educated guess that it's RCA inputs we're looking for consumer level signal. However, I don't understand enough about these things to be sure of any decision - for example, BM tells me the input level of my existing mixer is -10dB and I need more than that for today's synths, especially Montage.

Hello - My little mixer is out of its depth these days, being 24 years old, and I'm in the process of upgrading. Enlightenment is needed - but not a lot of theory! That will only confuse me even more! I infer from this that it doesn't matter - but what, then, is the point of having two? The whole thing is very confusing. I have not found any that have two outputs, one for balanced leads, and another for unbalanced. So far as I can see, mixers do just that - they mix a number of inputs down to one output. My existing mixer is overwhelmed by all this, to the point of distortion - but will the Behringer be any better? The Montage will plug into it with TRS balanced leads - but my Korg M3 and Tyros 3 only have TS unbalanced leads. OK - but huh? My current research has thrown up a Behringer XENYX 1202FX as the most likely contender, but I can't find anything about input dB - so will it be suitable, can anyone tell me please?
