1. Level Faders
Click and drag to change the input and output levels. For best results, you
should select either +4dBu or –10dBV according to your system
configurations. Check the manuals of the audio equipment you want to
connect to the WT2496’s inputs. It should be either a +4dBu or –10dBV
device. The numbers on the bottom show the relative levels in dB. When
you select balanced operation, the preset levels are 0dB for both inputs
and outputs. When you select unbalanced operation, the level will show 6
for inputs and 0 for outputs.
2. +4dBu
Sets the nominal input and output levels to +4dBu for professional audio
applications.
WT2496 connectors can accept
normal unbalanced 1/4” phone
jacks as well, but you must select
UNBAL for proper use.
Generally speaking, balanced line
normally refers to the +4dBu
nominal level, while the
unbalanced line normally refers
to the –10dBV nominal level.
Although rare, there can be an
unbalanced +4dBu line or a
balanced –10dBV line.
