Maximum Volume Level
The Cinema Reference Mach II also permits you to set the systems Maximum Volume Level. This will
prevent the system from ever playing too loud, averting distortion or damage to the speakers. The Out
of the Box default setting is left wide-open to the maximum available +31.5dB level.
1 To set this level it is advised to play an input (digital) and test the system to determine the
loudest level you ever wish the system to play at, note this volume level, and then lower the
Master Volume control.

press the Mode knob.

Analog Gain
As you change from digital input labels to analog input labels, often the volume level may vary. The
Cinema Reference features an Analog Input Gain control that can be set individually per input labels
linked to analog audio inputs. Here you can alter the level of analog input between -10dB and +10dB.
The Out of the Box setting for all input labels is 0dB (or no gain). To assist you in making certain that
the level selected is optimal, the Cinema Reference will prompt you if the gain level is causing clipping.
1 To set this level you will first need to select the analog component and engage it into play.
2 Turn the Mode knob clockwise until the display’s second line reads SETUP MENU and then
press the Mode knob.
3 Turn the Mode knob clockwise until the display’s second line reads ANALOG GAIN and press
the Mode knob.
4 If the component you are playing is louder when compared to digital components, lower the
Analog Gain level by turning the Mode knob counterclockwise. If the component is playing
softer than digital components, slowly raise the analog gain by turning the Mode knob clock-
wise. If you raise this level too high, the display will indicate clipping. ADA suggests lower-
ing the gain so that clipping does not occur.
5 Turn the Input knob to exit the setup menu. Select another analog input label and repeat steps
2-4.
