i just got an unepxected surprise after replacing a 2882 with a LIO-8 in my studio. Everything remained the same, only the audio interface I switched. The PSI 21 monitors connected to the audio interface play at a much lower volume level after the change from 2882 to LIO 8. With the 2882 / 0 DB on the monitor controller and -10 DB in the mixer channel were very loud and basically too loud (sorry for not usinge the correct professional terms here , because I am not a Mixing engineer , but a musician with just basic mixing skills) With the LIO, the exact same setting is now significantly quieter. Can anyone tell me what this may be due to ? The same is with the Cue Mix over headphones. The LIO analog outputs are very much quieter compared to the 2882 outputs.
I am using MIOs Monitor Controll , so there is nothing between the interface and MIO regarding the output Levels
