[QUOTE="GrnEydDvl, post: 2176838, member: 568270"] Yes, with lower tones you will need to turn the gain up to generate the same voltage on the outputs. -10dB closely approximates the max level you will achieve with most music. Some music will peak over -10dB so you have to be careful if you use -10dB. You can use higher level tones if you want to be more conservative or if you don't know when to say when with the volume knob and are afraid you will damage your gear. With frequency response being flat, or very close to flat, you would have similar output voltages no matter what frequency you used. I would wager you have some sort of bass eq (boost) running or a crossover interfering when you took your measurements. [/QUOTE]
