I have a question that might be sort of a dead giveaway as to my knowledge
of electronics and how they relate to Pro Audio.  Basically, I know next to
nothing about electronics theory, other than what my old Radio Shack kits
taught me when I was a kid.  So, please bear with me.
At our studio, we have a DAL Card D+.  In the docs for the card, it
mentions three possible settings for the input/output jacks:  +4, -10, and
"consumer line level."  I have checked the docs for all of the other
equipment in the studio, and have found nothing to guide me in setting up
this aspect of the card.  So, for now, the card sits on the default
"consumer line level" setting.
How, pray tell, can I determine the best setting for this card, short of
going to night school and taking lab/lecture classes in electronics?  What
is the real difference between the three settings, and what is ideal as far
as they are concerned?
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
BTW, the mixer in use right now has no docs with it to assist me.  It is
soon to be replaced by a Mackie 1402-VLZ, which might help, but that is a
month or two down the road.
