vated. See “Record Mode” on page 4-7 for additional information.

for additional information.

Setup button & LED

Opens and closes the setup menu, which can be used to customize
the Nº32 to suit individual preferences and listening spaces. The
setup LED lights when the setup menu is open. See “Setup Menu”
on page 3-1
for additional information.

Selects and deselects menu items when the setup menu is open. The
enter button performs no function during normal operation.

Balance button & LED

Opens and closes the balance control, which adjusts the left-to-
right channel balance of the main output connectors. The balance
LED lights when the balance control is open. See “Balance” on
page 4-3
for additional information.

Note

When the balance control is closed, the balance LED remains lit if the
left-to-right channel balance of the main output connectors is offset.

Mute button & LED

Mutes and unmutes master volume level. Pressing the mute button
attenuates master volume by the selected mute level. The mute LED
lights when master volume level is muted. Pressing the mute
button again restores master volume to its original level.

The Mute parameter determines the amount of master volume level
attenuation that occurs when master volume level is muted. The
mute level can be set in 0.1dB increments between –10.0 and
–80.0dB. The factory-default mute level is –20.0dB.

Note

Rotating the volume knob or pressing the volume ± buttons unmutes
master volume level, adjusting master volume from the muted volume
level.
