McIntosh C2700: different volume for different outputs? (maybe a dumb question!)
I have a McIntosh C2700 preamp. Just got a power amp (MC275) that will run a pair of speakers. Maybe Klipsch Fortes. So, Output 1 = C2700->MC275->Klipsch speakers will be output 1.
By a weird set of circumstances I have a pair of ATC SCM 40A active speakers. Not a great fit to the C2700, but that's what I've got. I am planning to run output 2 to the ATCs, which will be in the adjoining room. Thus Output 2 = C2700->ATC speakers
My question: is it possible to set different volume levels for the different outputs? Neither the MC275s or the ATCs have volume adjustment, so I need to adjust volume via the preamp. Wondering if there's a way to do that via the C2700's controls
The ATC actives do not have volume control. Their colume is controlled by the pre-amp. Anyone have solutions/ideas? Again, the setup is Main room C2700-->balanced cable-->ATC SCM 40A Den C2700-->MC275-->speaker wire-->Klipsch Fortes
I need to find a way to boost the volume on the Fortes or reduce volume on the ATC SCM 50As

@sweetjonnyp did you ever figure it out?. I have a Mcintosh C2500 with a two zone output configuration as well. Output 1 is a direct connection to my MC452 running a set of passive speakers and Output 2 is supplying a signal to a Sonos connect which is connected to two Hypex Ncore500 Monoblocks which in turn pick up my whole home audio setup. I will be very interested in finding out how the C2500 can achieve individual output volume control as you have mentioned (I realize we have different pre amps but the premise is the same)

Hi, I wound up buying a Behringer Monitor1 passive monitor and volume controller. See this link. xlr in from the pre-amp, xlr out to the active speakers Since it was the active speakers that were louder, i use it to reduce their volume. The passive Klipsch driven by the mc 275s are at 100% of whatever volume i've chosen on the preamp. The atc passive speakers are usually run at 75-80% of full volume
