Adjusting Output Level
In most instances, the FPS2000
Digital Master Level Control will
be the most convenient way to
adjust the overall playback level. It
responds instantly and doesn’t
require you to pause games or
programs. But there are other
output level controls present in
software to consider.
Versions of Microsoft ® Windows ®
and most other operating systems
offer an on-screen sound level
Control, while most game
programs provide yet another one.
For the
FPS2000 Digital Master
Level Control to perform at its
best, these “software” level
controls should be set to an
“optimum” position and then left
alone.
Set any software volume
controls to approximately 75% of
their maximum output level. This
should allow the
FPS2000 Digital
Master Level Control to achieve
the highest output level desired
when set to its loudest setting.
If the FPS2000 Digital’s
maximum output is still not
sufficient at the extreme setting of
its Volume Control, try increasing
one, and only one, of the software
volume controls to increase overall
output.
If you find the optimum output
level of the FPS2000 Digital
system occurs at too low a setting
of its Volume Control, reduce the
setting of one software volume
control (preferably the operating
system’s output level control) to
achieve greater control range.
Note: Some software volume
controls may introduce distortion
when set to their maximum level.
Experiment to achieve the cleanest
sound.
The output of the subwoofer can
be adjusted to suit the listener’s
taste. Start with the control in the
12 o’clock position (see diagram
N). After using the system for a
couple of hours, adjust the control
up or down to fine-tune it.
