BP26 Input Sensitivity
« on: 15 Mar 2008, 01:45 am »
Hi. I've a DAC (Lavry DA10) which has an adjustable volume control and this is connected to the balanced input of the BP26. I asked them in their forum what would be the correct volume setting to set when connected to the BP26 which has a balanced input sensitivity of 1V (according to the BP26 manual). Now they've come back with a question of their own which is, what is the "absolute maximum input level" specification in "dBu, Volts RMs, or Volts Peak-to-Peak (P-P)"? Anybody with the answer?

Hi There,

I don't think the input level matters as the BP26 has the volume control before the gain stage - I will check with the designer.

Answer from Stuart Taylor:

15Vrms bal input for 1% distortion at the "to recorder' output
