Signal Levels in the VENUE System
and Pro Tools
0 dB on input meters of a VENUE system equal –20 dBFS. This
20 dB of mixer headroom helps prevent digital clipping and
distortion in live program material.
HDx does not provide independent gain control for the HDx
fixed outputs before they are split off to Pro Tools, so program
material coming into a VENUE system at 0 dB will be recorded
into Pro Tools at –20 dBFS.
For gain control of HDx outputs to Pro Tools, use Direct Out-
puts to route audio channels to HDx assignable outputs, and
adjust the gain on the Direct Output control for each channel.
