INSTALLATION STEP 5
The input level controls are located on the front of the amplifier. This is a unique
dual-stage circuit that adjusts both level and gain. This topology maintains better
S/N Ratio even when using sources with minimal output.
In the ideal situation, all components in the audio system reach maximum
undistorted output at the same time. If you send a distorted signal to an amplifier,
it is simply going to amplify distorted information. The same holds true if an
outboard processor or crossover begins to distort before you have maximum
output from the amplifier. By setting all components to reach clipping at the same
time, you can maximize the output of your system. For your
amplifier,
follow these steps for setting the input levels:
Turn the amplifier’s input levels to minimum position (counter-clockwise)
2. Set the source unit volume to approximately 314 of full volume.
3. While playing dynamic source material, slowly increase the amplifiers’ input
level until a near maximum undistorted level is heard in the system.
Once the amplifier is installed and the proper levels set,
position, and secure it using the supplied hardware. place the front spoiler in
