Hey sorry to bother you but from your posts you seems to have a great deal of knowledge with the Lynx converters. I was doing my first drum session with my Lynx Aurora 16 with an LT-HD card. Going through an API makeshift 500 series pre using an SM57 on a well tuned snare with the 20db pad on and the pre turned all the way down the level was very hot. Leaving me very little headroom for eq. The guys at Avedis Audio had mentioned that it sounded like my converters might have been in -10 mode instead of +4. Yesterday I spoke with Paul at Lynx Studio and he ran me through my hardware setup and as I thought it was actually in +4 mode.

I'll be honest here. As technical as I can get I'm more of a button pusher/knob turner with engineering. Can you suggest and level tests I can do to see whats going on if anything with my set up? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Keith Moore
