I have just bought KRK Roket 6's...
I really enjoy them, but one problem...
When I put everything to 0db and have it connected to my Motu 1224 the volume is insanly HIGH!
When I put the volume to say like -6db (or -15db is even worse) on the monitors...
There's happening something really weird...
One monitor on -3db is louder then the other one on -3db!?!?!
Anybody got a solution of idea or am I doing something wrong?

It's all connected in my main output (9&10) of my Motu 1224 device.
Some solutions? Or tips?
 
my main out on y 1224 is 1/2, Im not sure why your is different?

do you have a 324 or 424 card?

the 424 driver was recently updated you might try that

also just to state the obvious, have you connected it to a different sound source to make sure that your KRK's arent the culprit?
 
Very wierd indeed. We do not have a MOTU interface, but we do have a pair of the KRK RP-8's here and haven't had any problems with them at all...as far as the unequal volume thing, I would suggest making sure the sensitivity knob on the back of both monitors are equal, just set them both to zero (unity) on the back. The volume being too loud is not the fault of your new moni's, it has to do with how you are routing the signals into them, i.e. your interface's settings.
