Driving the outputs even further I see the gain reduction on the pendulum reaching 4 dBs and at this point if I keep raising the volume on the console I hear horrible clicks and noises.
To determine what was clipping I brought the master output down on the console so the limiter on the PL2 was not working and increased the input gain on the same unit with the ceiling set at +22 dB. Same thing again (but this time the console is at normal gain staging), the limiting starts, the gain reduction reaches 4 dB and from there to go horrible clicks and noises again.
Am I missing something or the PL2 is clipping ? |
Do the Pendulum have a +4 / -10 switch on it? ( maybe it's set to -10?).. I could be wrong ( definately have been before...
..) but I would think the Pendulum would accept a line-level signal at unity gain without clipping. Hence the reason I say maybe somethings wrong with it? I mean my Behringer Master-Com 2 Buss Compressor...tutt.. will accept the +29 output from my Tascam M-2600mkII console at unity without clipping the inputs. What are you levels coming into your channels input of these two consoles?
