It's all explained in the manual under the Level Setting section. If you previously had your levels set for a -10 dBV referernced signal and you're now sending it a +4 dBu referenced signal it's going to sound a lot lounder.actually, about 11.79 dB louder Some mixers have +4 and -10 switches on them but the 1604 does not so you just use the trim knobs. Looking at the manual there is a really straight forward explanation on level setting on page 3. Your 1604 VLZ can accecpt either signal and use it just fine but you need to set your levels correctly.

Pro audio gear is often balanced and consumer gear often is not.
Another thing that sort of feeds the pro/consummer/good/bad agrument is that unballanced connections often use -10 (hence your 410 being -10) and ballanced normally use +4. However, to think that one is better than another is sort of a myth - they're just different. As time went on this distinction just stuck: Pro is +4, Consummer is -10. Consummer gear was -10 dBV and more affordable. At the time Pro gear was +4dBu and very expensive. Over time consistent impedence went away and as consumer electronics were being developed -10 dBV was created and referenced to a nice whole number: 1.
At the time this was thought to be very important and the electronics of the time relied on it. In the early days every piece of audio gear was +4 dBu and all impedence was 600 Ohms. The difference in line level signal between the two is just under 12 dB: 11.79dB. With -10 dBV the reference is 1 volt which corresponds to a signal of about 0.3162 Volts RMS. 0.775 volts which corresponds to a signal of about 1.228 Volts RMS. In the case of +4 dBu the reference is approx. Decibel measurements of various flavors are all just measuring the difference between a number and a reference. +4 dBu and -10 dBV just use different reference voltages. Thanks for replys so far dont know what i'd do without advice from this forum. Is there a loss of benefit from running at -10db i dont know, would be nice if someone could enlighten me. To me it sounds how it was before level wise maybe it also has something to do with my new balanced cables as with the 410 it was unbalanced so i had to use unbalanced cables. So my question is, is it ok for me to keep all the mio console ins and outs at -10db will i lose gain from the noise floor dont really understand the reason behind the +4 & -10 maybe someone could explain? I can't keep my console settings on +4db as i have Mackie 1604 mixer and can't turn it up LOL if my master channel is a quarter of the way up my speakers (Genelecs 8040's) are are on the brink of blowing up.

Got it all hooked up now clarity & depth of this unit is simply amazing, i've been using M Audio Firewire 410 for last 2 years (God Forbid), when i hooked 2882 the level of sound coming out was really loud which i found out was to do with my 410 running at -10db and 2882 console was set to +4db which i also found out is the Professional standard.
