Metering is one thing, but most importantly, when you listen to the "blank" channel you shouldn't be able to hear the tone clearly over the noise floor. If you do, you have crosstalk.Drumwaiter wrote:My $60 Sandisk "sansa" 2GB player, plugged straight into the balanced inputs of my Fireface, and there zero signal on the right channel. I don't knwo if there's a better way i should be testing it though...
Actually, on my test files, the channel with the tone is around -6dbfs. You should have no trouble with level.macrae11 wrote:Also Malcolms file is a little quiet(-22dBFS I think), so you might have to juice it to really see what's going on.

Rather than concentrating on measuring the levels, try connecting just the "silent" channel, and listen to what you get.
Then you are good to go.Drumwaiter wrote:... I couldn't hear anything even with everything cranked dangerously high on my nearfields. I unplugged my left nearfield and cranked the level and I got nothing.
