Gain and levels adjustment in audiofuse x8 in and out

Hello there! I am wondering if i bye the audiofuse x8 in and x8 out and connecting them to my 16rig how i can adjust the gain and the level for those extra channels? In 16rig it doesn’t let you change anything on adat inputs and oupts. Does anyone know?

I don’t have an X8, but I think you should be able to enable the ADAT channels and they should show up in the 16rig mixer.

So i find it. You can’t match the gain but you can the level via the control center. But i can’t understand what happens in the case the input signal is to low or to high. If anyone know please let me know

Hi, there’s no gain/level control on the X8 In/Out. They are all Line level inputs/outputs.

The X8 In has a 12dB PAD option for each input, for high-level sources, and a 8-LED VU meter to help you adjust the output level of the line sources you are sending to the X8 inputs.

Inside the 16Rig, you can adjust the mix levels of all inputs used in the Monitor mix and Cue mix.

In your DAW, you control the levels of the channels you are sending to the ADAT outputs, therefore to the X8 Out.

Hi, We really need at least pads on the X8 out. This is a basic feature that has been around for decades…

We just need to be able to match correct stage gain with -10dBV inputs on other gear in the studio.

Why is that ?
For example in our case the 12 first ouputs are taken by the 7.1.4 then we use ADAT 3 to 8 for 3 Aux headphones distributions in the studio, booth and the control room. These are -10dBV inputs headphones amplifiers unfortunately.
We don’t use AFCC mixer, monitor or cue because it is not matching our use.

We cannot just turn down the channels in the DAW because
It would be very dangerous for our customers’ ears in case of operator error or DAW freezing and outputing 0dBFS sound (which has never happened to anyone I’m sure…)
This correct stage gain has to be set in stone with a pad for this reason.

It would have been nice to have pad buttons physically on the X8out but the bare minimum is to have it in the AFCC

I guess our only way is to make our own -12dB analog pads with the loss of quality that it implies.

Thank you,
