    > Just 3dB will already twice the volume.
    Another 3 dB just doubles the sound pressure.
    To double the perceived volume you need about 10 dB.

    Indeed, you’re absolutely right.

    There is sometihng to update in the https://support.allen-heath.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4403616287889-General-Levels-and-Metering-in-A-H-Digital-Consoles

    But that is the same link as on September 27th.

    @ Robert Swedberg
    I don’t have a CQ and only know the manual and the block diagram, so please bear with me.

    Please try the following:
    There are at least 2 ways to increase the stereo recording.
    The less professional, but perhaps the easiest for you, is to reduce the amplifier level of your QSC monitors by e.g. 15 dB and increase your mix overall by the same amount –
    e.g. the main fader to maximum (+ 10 dB) and increase all channels involved either in gain or each fader by 5 dB.
    The more professional variant would be to use a separate stereo output rather than Main LR for recording, e.g. OUT 1+2 linked to stereo.
    For this mix, switch the source point = Post Compressor, the Mix = Post Fader and activate Follow Main LR Pan.
    In this mix, do not set the sends of all channels involved to 0 dB, but to maximum (+10 dB) – and do not forget the FX returns!
    You can also set this mix’s master fader to maximum (+10 dB).
    This would give the USB stereo recording of Out 1+2 20 dB more level.
    If that still isn’t enough, you could try the trick with the compressor, as described under the link at the very end.
    I hope I’m thinking more or less correctly.
