    Default Xone k2 low volume in club pa setup problem!!!

    Hi has anyone had problems with the k2 being very quiet on a club pa setup

    I've tried it on several rigs etc and it's always quiet

    I run a MacBook pro with traktor 2.5 and everything is as it should be

    I've bought some new better quality cables that might help but I'm not sure what else to do


    Ive asked a n h tech support but they say it's basically my problem as no one else has bought this up as an issue


    I've seen a few post here and there with the same problem but no conclusive answers


    Thanks anyone for any help

    I think fiddling around with your settings even more is not gonna make it any louder, and the headroom feature is there for a reason too, it is not a bad thing to use at all. Some soundcards are just not that loud. I have some experience with PA too, you should just use a live mixer and gain it correctly on there. Trying to get your soundcard louder on the software/settings side of things can get you into deep shit in therms of distortion/clipping etc.. And nobody wants that. The only thing i could think of would be to compare your k2 to somebody else's and see if that one really is louder.

    And if there is no mixing table available, i don't see why, but anyways you can use a device like this: http://www.htd.com/LGB-1
    Good luck finding a solution

    I'm going to sit down and solve the thing. It has to be fixable there isn't any reason why it so quiet. Unfortunately no one I know uses a k2 haha

    Did you check your traktor gain? I have assigned the traktor gain to a Midi device that's not always used. Sometimes, inexplicably the gain is set to very low is the device is not connected.

    Any chance of the output jack ever being abused? Bad contact here may lower the volume without affecting sound quality noticably.

    A&H are not the kind of company tou fit bad sound cards in devices.

    hi

    sat down and went over it all, fixed it in a sense, basically headroom as 0db, I pushed the master volume up 3/4 of the way on traktor which made it peak in traktor but does not peak on the external mixer which gave me the extra boost, channel gains in traktor were pushed up a little say about less that a quater more

    it puts it upto 0db on the xone 92

    the card is quiet compared to the ni audio series on the same mixer

    either way i have room to up the volume a bit on both traktor gain channels and external mixer

    ive ordered some new cables better quality to maybe better the sound

    im happy with that

    Hate to burst your bubble, but cables are NOT a factor in sound quality. You may feel it sounds better because they look better. Better cable may withstand more abuse than others, but in a dj setup, cables are no factor at all.

    Typical input circuitry is 100Kohm impendance. Your worst cable will have a 0,01ohm Impendance. Your cable reduces the signal by a factor 0,0000001%. Audible effects are therfore below -80dB
