Hello, new poster here, thank you for the forum.
I'm having a difficult time reconciling the Meter Level setting in the downloaded manual on a Tascam 122mk3 (page: 15 item: 3). It's asking for 400Hz input at -10dbV on the RCA's, then the input pots to be brought to the same output level on the RCA's, then asks for the meters to be adjusted to 0db.
This procedure puts my meters on +3db and I'm questioning this. I have several new, and near new reputable level tapes that when played, following playback level calibration with a Teac MTT-150, show the following:
MTT-150: about +.5db
Sony P-4 L300: -2db
RCA 1-101 Standard Reference Level: -2db
Abex TCC-121: -2db
Sony P-4-L81: 0db
Can someone help me understand why the procedure in the manual is so much different that what I believe I should see? Sam? Thank you.
