RE: Ramsa wp-9055 Any good for Hi-Fi use?

143.236.92.53

Keep in mind this is setup for +4db and not the home stereo -10db

Consumer gear is .3volts
Pro gear is 1.2volts

The difference between 1.2 volts and 0.3 volts is a 4:1 ratio, which is about 12dB. This means that, when you feed a consumer-level signal into an input that is set up for professional-level signals, it will be 12dB lower than you expected. It also means that when you feed a professional-level signal into an input that is set up for consumer-level signals, it will be 12dB stronger than you expected. On a pot, the gain difference between halfway up and all the way up is usually about 15dB, so you can see that a 12dB difference is significant.
