Level Setting the BLT
• Disconnect Speaker(s) from the amplifier
• CD Software used to set levels is a test tone of 1kHz at “0dB” or “All Bits High”
• Source Unit set to 3/4 volume (or maximum unclipped output)
• Remove BLT Cover to access test pads and gain pots
• AC Voltmeter set to AC Volts
• AC Voltmeter “–” connected to RCA shield of BLT
• AC Voltmeter “+” connected to test pad inside the BLT
• Adjust BLT Gain from 3.25 VRMS min. to 10.3 VRMS max per test pad (see chart below)
Be sure the time index reads greater than 30 seconds on source unit.
*Absence of gain overlap will reduce SPL and may not permit amplifier to reach full output power due to various CD
software.
Gain Overlap BLT Output (AC Volts) Performance Characteristics
+0dB* 3.25 VRMS Best S/N Ratio, Reduced SPL
+5dB 5.8 VRMS Good S/N Ratio & SPL
+10dB 10.3 VRMS Best Compromise between S/N Ratio & SPL
