If I set-up using balanced cables I can't make enough adjustments to level the sound dB's. This morning I did an experiment using RCA vs XLR
These settings stayed the same throughout the test.
My sub output in the Pre-pro was at 0 dB (no lower setting)
I used auto set-up

Crossover Frequency 150
Volume / Gain EP-500 6 O'clock
EP-800 9 O'clock


Started with the RCA cables
FL +0.5 dB
FR +1.0 dB
C -0.5
SL -1.5
SR -3.0
EP-500 -2.5
EP-800 +1.0

Next the XLR cables not changing any settings
FL +0.5
FR +1.0
C -0.5
SL -1.5
SR -3.0
EP-500 -12.0
EP-800 +12.0

So my dilemma is, in order to even out my sub I either have to lower the output in the pre-pro ( can't it's at the minimum ), Increase the vol / gain on the EP-800 ( can't increase it enough to come close to the EP-500 ), decrease the gain in the EP-500 ( can't same reason as above )
I'm now wondering if the XLR connection on the EP-500 is faulty? I tried to adjust the gain on the back and it was either very low level or when I moved it slightly to increase the gain it would go to max sound level ( no gradual increase, all or nothing ). So if anyone is still awake that's my problem.
Brent from Axiom is looking into it.
