GAIN
MENU
- Here is where you adjust the selected group’s gain controls. All amplifiers in the
group will be adjusted up or down when you adjust the gain control. If each amplifier has different gain
settings, the WXRC will display the gain level of the highest amplifier in the group . It also monitors and
maintains any differences between channels or individual amplifiers that you may have set separately.If
you can not adjust a group up or down, then it means the channel differences are being maintained and
there is no where to go. You will need to adjust each amplifier individually or set each amplifier’s gain to
a similar setting.
Here is an example:
Group-01 has two amplifiers in it, amp 1 has both channels gain set at
12.0
while amp 2 is at
0.0
.
When you select this group to adjust the gain you will see
12.0
in the display, the highest gain setting
of the group.
When you try to increase or decrease the gain setting of this group, nothing will happen. Since the gain
range is 12 dB (0.0 dB to 12.0 dB) there is no way to increase or decrease the gain and maintain 12 dB
of difference between the amplifiers. The WXRC is maintaining the differences you set between the
amplifiers.
EQ

precaution to prevent a notch filter condition.
