Expert Audio Engineering Commentary
Headroom Notes
Arturia prints EIN as '-129dB typical [A-weighted]', in dB rather than dBu. The reference is not stated, so the number is comparable to the rest of this table only by convention.
Gain Staging Advice
56 dB and +9 dBu maximum input - a low ceiling on both ends. Loud sources clip the input early and quiet dynamics run out of gain; this is a condenser interface.
Amplification Warning
137 mW into 33 Ohm with a 10 Ohm output impedance is a genuinely strong headphone stage for the size. The 10 Ohm figure still means the eighth-of-impedance rule is broken by 16 Ohm in-ears.
