[Vertigo-1]

I'd like to hear what you Max/MOH owners have all your switches set to...

 

[lextek]

When I had the MOH to compare with the Cosmic. I had the gain set at medium, processor on and bright.

 

[session76]

bright
process=on
low gain for cd player
high gain for digital cable box

 

[Mic]

High gain, brightness=off, filter=on.

 

[JMT]

It depends on the cans:

HD600s: Gain - high, Processor - off, Brightness - off

HP-1: Gain - medium, Processor and brightness - off

MS Pros and SR-325: Gain - low, Processor and brightness - off

Ety ER-4S: Gain - medium, Processor and brightness - off

I use the processor when I need to for extremely panned recordings, then I set brightness to bright.

 

[AndreYew]

On Max with stepped attenuator:

Filter: off
Process: on
gain: low
Phones: Sennheiser HD-600

--Andre

 

[DeanA]

On the MOH, with the processor always on:

HD600: Gain High, Brightness On

SR325: Gain Low, Brightness Off

Talk about being on the same wavelength. I asked a variation of this question in the Static thread. In case I can get more answers here -- does anyone have the brightness boost on when NOT engaging the crossfeed?

 

[MacDEF]

Max
Gain: low (I like to be able to fine-tune the volume

)
Process: on (usually)
Filter: bright with process on

 

[kwkarth]

Gain: Depending upon the CD, gain setting on either medium or low.

Process: Depending upon CD, process on or off.

Filter: Depending upon can, AND CD, off or bright.

There are a number of CD's which sound most natural with process on and filter off. A few sound better with the filter on bright in addition to the process being on.

I have virtually no (none come to mind) CD's which sound best with the process off and filter on bright. Likewise, no CD's which sound best with the filter on brightest under any conditions.

The improved imaging of the OutLaw cables has caused me to prefer a few discs without processing which I previously preferred with process on. Likewise, the improved high end and resolution of the OutLaws has caused me to prefer some CD's with the filter off with process on even though I previously preferred the filter on bright.
