The A77 meters are known for eccentric behaviour. One of the few areas where Studer cut some corners. Bear in mind the meters are 50+ years old and that allows for some unreliability. Best to set the record level so that playback sounds as close to the source while you are recording. I use that technique and have never been disappointed. Overall these are excellent machines worth keeping and restoring.
Super Maschine 😊

I had one of those . Circa 1971 it was stolen in a California home burglary that took everything of value .
