Signal level that flows on the TWINLANe network when
gain compensation is on
If gain compensation is turned on, changing the analog gain will cause the signal being output to the
TWINLANe network to be compensated by an equal and opposite amount as the change in the analog gain.
This means that the signal on the audio network will be compensated to a consistent level in the digital
domain. For example, if the analog gain value is set to +30 dB and you turn gain compensation on, raising the
analog gain to +45 dB will apply –15 dB of compensation to the audio network so that the signal is sent at a
+30 dB level.
When a single I/O rack unit is shared by the FOH console and the monitor console, even if the analog gain is
changed on the FOH console, the signal that flows on the audio network stays at the same level, so that the
input level to the monitor console is not affected. It is important to note that if the analog gain is raised
excessively so that the signal after GC is distorted, you must temporarily turn gain compensation off, readjust
the input level appropriately, and then turn gain compensation on again. If you lower the analog gain while
gain compensation is still on, gain compensation operates to boost the signal on the audio network by the
same amount, so the signal will still be distorted.
