- Teac M15 Console
Hi all,
I recently bought a Teac m15 console from the 70s. I got it for a steal. The console is a thing of beauty. I’m having trouble getting a strong signal from my interface to the direct outs on the channels.
Here’s my signal path:
Computer to Scarlet 2i2 (upgrading soon).
Scarlet into M15
I go direct out on the channels using rca to xlr in on my studio monitors.
I’ve tried both the line outs and headphone jack from the Scarlet to do a stereo split into either the xlr ins and rca ins on the M15. Both produce a thin sound, no bass and it’s really thin. I have to really drive the signal because it’s very faint even at peak volume
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong or if the channels are busted.
——-
Things I’ve tried:
Laptop direct into channel via rca then direct out rca out to powered speakers.
scarlet line out (quater inch to xlr) to Teac xlr in then direct out to speakers.
Scarlet headphone out to Teac rca direct in then direct out to speakers.

I’m assuming that maybe it is an impedance or output problem?
I’ve checked the manual for specifications buts very technical.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
