This is something i've noticed to - I ordered 4 sets of standard cos's (from a well know UK distributor) two in ta5 and two in 3-pin lemo - going into lectro transmitters. I'm normally an 4060/61 guy, but for continuity with an existing show, I added the above. I've noticed that across the board, I'm running them around 30-36 to get them to modulate properly for normal dialogue - much higher than what I am used to (18-24) is the general consensus that its the resistor thats the culprit?

Very interesting thread - I've just made the jump to Lectro SRC's and SD's 833. A lot of my question has been answered but there's a few things that bug me RE" 'correct gain structure'. So the SRC outputs its tone with a range of -50 to +5 (going up in 1dB increments). Set at Zero, I imagine thats around -20 / -18db?. So at line level out to line level in to the 833 this comes in at around -35dB. Which I guess is understandable as the Gain trim at its lowest is set to -14. So lets say I have a strong, fully modulated real world signal (dialogue) and I wanted my ISO's to say be around -20 - what's best practice here? max out the SRC to +5 and have less gain on the mixer? Thanks in advance Craig.
