Nº32 Reference Preamplifier Basic Operation
Note
When record mode is activated, the select knob and select /
buttons select the desired input to send to the record output
connectors. See “Record Mode” on page 4-7 for additional
information.
Volume ± buttons Adjust master volume level. Pressing the volume ± buttons
increases and decreases master volume in 1.0 increments up to
23.0dB and in 0.1dB increments above 23.0dB. The minimum
master volume level is OFF. The MaxVol parameter determines the
maximum master volume level in 0.1dB increments between OFF
and 80dB. The factory-default maximum master volume level is
80dB.
The Offset parameter determines individual input volume level
offsets in 0.1dB increments between –20.0dB and +20.0dB. The
factory-default input volume level offset is 0.0dB. Whenever an
input is selected, the Nº32 automatically applies the Offset param-
eter setting to master volume level.
Pressing and holding the volume ± buttons for longer than 1.5
seconds accelerates the rate of change to accommodate large adjust-
ments. Pressing and quickly releasing the volume ± buttons
accommodates fine, precise adjustments.
Note
Nº32 volume controls do not affect record output levels. When SSP
mode is activated, volume controls are deactivated.
Standby button Places the Nº32 into standby and takes the Nº32 out of standby,
which allows the Nº32 to remain warmed-up to deliver optimal
performance at all times. The front panel standby LED lights when
the Nº32 is not in standby and blinks in unison with the preampli-
fier LED when the Nº32 is in standby. See “Standby” on page 4-1 for
additional information.
Note
Power is still connected to the Nº32 when the Nº32 is in standby.
