OT Mk2 is louder

Elektron Gear Octatrack
#1

Picked up an OT Mk2 over the weekend, and noticed right away that the outputs are hotter than the older model. Just did a direct comparison with the same samples and levels and it’s unmistakeable.

I know the inputs are now balanced, but can’t find anything in the blurb for the new model about the outputs having changed.

Any ideas why this might be?
