I have just started putting my Nashville 112 through the pa via the line out socket on the back panel,but the signal is peaking on the mixer channel even at low volume it's a powered mixer and any decent volume it starts to distort out of the fronts.Because of this I am now using a Behringer V amp guitar processor direct throught he pa but it's very thin in sound and just don't sound good.I would much rather use the 112 . Is it the fact that It's a powered mixer and an amp going into another amp is making it peak.Any ideas on how to set it up. I could mike it up but the line out seems a better option.

| The XLR output on the NV112 is a "line level" signal (high level). Use an input on the mixer that is designed for line levels. If you use a microphone or instrument level input it will distort unless you have a pad to knock the level down. |

The level control on the left (I think it's called Pre)affects the level of the XLR out.
Keep it around 50%. |

Thanks guys for your help,I didn't realise that the XLR out was controlled by the pre gain control I think that will make a big difference if that is kept at 50% or below.I assumed it had one level.I will give that a try at tomorrows gig.
All the best Ray

| I think the output on a line level is +4db, whearas a mic level is -10db. Anyway, your problem is running a line level out into a mic level in. Most mixers have a push button on each channel to select line in or mic in. Look for a button that each channel may have that is a push in/push out button. This will change the input from mic to line level. Also, if this is not on your mixer, look for a trim or sensitivity button that you can turn down. You just gotta tame that high, line level input down somehow. |

All of the above.
On my NV 1000, I run an XLR to a PA.
The left Pre Gain Volume knob is the signal sent to the board.
You can turn the Master Gain off and listen to the signal thru the mains and monitors this way.
Usually anything over 4 is too loud already.
As long as you only adjust the master volume for your stage level, the signal remains the same to the PA.

I am having the same problem with my Session 2000 and NV 112. Nothing but distortion. It has only started recently doing this. I have used an attenuator in the past with good results, but not anymore. I am running into an older peavy board.

Level specs can be confusing, but here is what I use:
+4dBu is "pro" line-level
-10dBV is "consumer" line-level
Mic level is around -50dBu
dBu is referenced to .775 V, dBV is referenced to 1.0V so consumer line level could be given as -7.8dBu instead of -10dBV.
In terms of voltage, +4dBu is 1.23 V, -10dBV is 0.316V, and -50dBu is around 0.002 V. |

| Lynn, thanks for the techical information. You obviously know a lot more about this than me. I have just been erronous in my thinking on mic/vs line levels. So I learned something, Thanks. |
