Hi everybody (again )

Today I have a question regarding the input sensitivity and boost of the Virus (Edit Config 1/2), for example when I want to Atomize an mp3 coming from my mp3player (iPhone).

I tried different settings, I get it really loud, but is there any recommended setting for audio sources of different kinds?

I can choose from +16dBV (not loud) to -16dBV (loud!) + the boost, which really works as an overdrive of some kind.

Should I just look at what arrives in my audiointerface? Or can I "break" something within the Virus when I use too much amplification?



Another question:

In Input 2/2 where I can choose the characteristics, does phono really mean phono? So could I directly hook up a turntable without a phono-preamp (if I find a way to "ground" it, don't know the english term for that)?

If so, would I have to use "linear" as a setting when I use a phono preamp?


Thank you
