Simple 2-way system D. Level Matching
Many manufacturers claim that their source units
produce signal voltages in the area of 2 to 4 volts. However,
what they neglect to mention is that you only achieve these
incredible voltage levels when the volume is turned all the
way up. Try listening to that all of the time. By following the
level matching steps for the THREE.2 you will be able to take
full advantage of the high voltage output of your head unit.
1. Disconnect the RCA cables leading into your amplifiers,
and make sure the only RCA cables between your head unit
and the THREE.2’s main inputs are attached. Turn the volume
level knob on the THREE.2 to maximum.
2. Play a favorite compact disc or MP3 that contains
consistent, dynamic music and turn the source unit’s volume
control up to its maximum level (NOTE: Some source units
may produce distortion or “clipping”, when their volume
controls are turned all of the way up. If this happens, you will
hear distortion even at low levels when you connect the rest
of the system. If this is the case, lower the source unit’s volume
level until you no longer hear distortion). The volume control
on the THREE.2 will now be the master volume control.
