what is the benifit of a line driver?


Recommended Posts

I think people are putting too much emphasis on output voltage. A high output voltage from the deck is good because then the gain needs yo be set lower - making it so any introduced noise is amplified less.

But beyond that a gain knob's purpose is go compensate and adjust for variations in RCA voltage. It doesn't make the amp work harder or not. Its something that needs to be set according to the usage scenario

Ncc and bassmunky look at what your gain knob says (if it says on it at all) usually itll say like .2-6 or whatever it goes to.

Atm im actually using a line driver for the opposite effect. My 80prs is puting out upwards of 6 volts at full tilt. I used a line driver to drop that down to .6 volts or so.
