nw2s::io balanced

The nw2s::io has become the unsung hero of hundreds of studios around the world. People say it makes all the difference in their workflow. It's completely relieved many others of grounding issues that cause hum and buzz. The bottom line is that it sounds great and creates an easy to use, consistent integration point with the rest of your studio equipment.  To match studio levels, the balanced 'io provides 6dB gain reduction for audio from the 3.5mm jacks to the balanced DB-25. In practical terms, what that means is that a VCO patched directly will it near-ideal analog to digital levels of about -15dBFS depending on how your interface is calibrated. VCAs and overdriven filters bring the levels closer to -6dBFS. Hot levels without making it too easy to overdrive your ADC inputs.  When routing in from the DB-25 to the 3.5mm jacks, the signal is increased by 6dB. This will keep your modular from clipping most line-level inputs and provides extra gain when bringing studio signals  into you
