SAVING DATA message appears on the front panel display
as the new input name is saved.
Note
The factory-default input name must be restored one character at a
time using the character list (unless factory-default settings are
restored).
Gain 0dB, +6dB, +12dB, +18dB
Optimizes gain levels for the input source using the stereo input
connector for which the selected input is assigned. Increasing the
Gain parameter setting increases gain levels for the selected input,
which sometimes prevents input sources with low gain levels from
producing low signal-to-noise ratios. Decreasing the Gain param-
eter setting decreases gain levels for the selected input, which
sometimes prevents input sources with high gain levels from
producing distortion.
Note
The Gain parameter should be set before the Offset parameter.
Offset –20.0dB to +20.0dB
Determines individual input volume level offsets in 0.1dB incre-
ments between –20.0dB and +20.0dB. The factory-default input
volume level offset is 0.0dB. Whenever an input is selected, the
Nº32 automatically applies the Offset parameter setting to the
master volume level.
In some cases, input sources sound softer or louder than others. If
this occurs, select the Offset parameter setting that compensates for
the volume level difference, allowing all associated components to
output at a comparable volume level.
Rec.Out NONE, #1, #2, #3
Sends the input to all three record output connectors during record
mode, or deactivates the selected record output connectors. The
front panel record out button activates and deactivates record
mode. This allows the select knob and select / buttons to select
the input to send to the record output connectors.
Selecting a setting deactivates the corresponding record output
connectors when the input is selected during record mode.
See “Record Mode” on page 4-7 for additional information.
Caution!
If the recording component offers both record input and output
connectors, set the Rec.Out parameter to NONE to prevent
