Volume
Use the Volume potentiometer to adjust the volume of both channels of the
Speaker | Main Out outputs on the rear panel. The high-grade potentiometer regulates
the audio signal directly to avoid any coloration/distortion typical of VCAs and DCAs,
which require higher inter-channel tolerances and have a tendency towards higher dis-
tortion figures. The Volume control uses a relative dB scale referenced to the input
level. When set to the 0dB mark the input level is „as is“ (the amplification factor is 1
or unity gain).
The signal can be attenuated up to -78dB.
If the signal can still be heard when hard left, do not worry: the potentiometer is not a
switch. This was a conscious decision we made to be able to offer you an amplification
possibility too. Power off the source when you want to mute it.
Recommendation: Calibrate the whole monitoring system (read the following section)
so that the control range in use is always between eight and two o‘clock of the travel.
This is the range where the potentiometer works best, which guarantees a good and
noiseless level matching for the monitoring system.
