INSTALLATION STEP
LEVEL
The input levels are adjusted by means of the input level controls located on the
front of the amplifier. This is a unique dual-stage circuit that adjusts both level and
gain. This topology maintains better S/N Ratio even when using
sources
with
minimal output.
In the ideal situation, all components in the audio system reach maximum undistorted
output at the same time. If you send a distorted signal to an amplifier, it is simply
going to amplify distorted information. The same holds true if an outboard proces-
sor or crossover begins to distort before you have maximum output from the ampli-
fier. By setting all components to reach clipping at the same time, you can maxi-
mize the output of your system. For the amplifier, follow these steps for
setting the input levels:
Turn the amplifier’s input levels to minimum position (counter-clockwise)
2. Set the source unit volume to approximately of full volume. ,
3. While playing dynamic source material, slowly increase the amplifiers’ input
,
level until a near maximum undistorted level is heard in the system.
FRONT SPOILER
Once the amplifier is installed and the proper levels set, place the front spoi I
position, and secure it using the suppl
hardware.
