Advanced

Range: On or Off

Select “on” to gain access to the following “advanced”

level parameters. Once you are in advanced mode you

no longer benefit from automatic “unity gain” calculations

described on the previous page under the Input Gain

section. On the other hand you will have full control of

the level parameters.

Boost Max
Range: 0 to 10 dB

This setting determines the max range of the boost

function. As 0 dBFS is the max level in the digital domain

digital “boost” is done by attenuating the general level

and releasing this attenuation when boost is required.

If you use the Advanced mode and the boost function,

the Output Range parameter can be adjusted to ensure

unity gain through the unit.

If you select advanced mode but never use the Boost

function at all, set the Boost Max parameter to 0 dB.

Output Range
Options: 2 dBu, 8 dBu, 14 dBu or 20 dBu

Which output setting to select depends on the set InGain.

The higher the InGain is set, the lower the Output Range

parameter should be set.

MENU - LEVELS

Boost

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just hit a single switch

and boost the entire signal for a few important phrases?

With the NOVA System boost function it is easy. Via the

Levels Advanced menu a max boost level between 0 and

10 dB is set. Within the Boost max level you can set up a

boost level for individual presets.

- press LEVELS to access the levels menu

- select “Advanced” and set this parameter to “on”

- scroll to BoostMax and set your boost max level

- then exit the menu and select the preset you want to

set up a boost level on.

- press DRIVE and set the boost level within the Boost

Max range.

Additional parameters for the Boost function:
Boost Lock:

Range: On or Off

When Boost Lock is set to “on”, you are able to boost the

amount of dB specified by the Boost Max. parameter on

ALL presets. The Boost Lock parameter is found in the

Utility menu.

Boost Level:

The boost level can be set for each preset within the

range of the Max Boost parameter. This range is set in

the Levels menu.
