Output Level Switches
The AN‑16/o has been designed to work with a wide range of professional
audio gear. There are four Output Level settings available on the front panel
—mic level and +4dBu, +18dBu, and +24dBu line level.
The M
ic
setting is appropriate for use with the mic preamp input on mixing
consoles, audio interfaces for DAWs, etc. Use this setting if the device you are
connecting to has no available line‑level inputs.
Output level switches on the AN-16/o affect a pair of channels at a time.
Choose a line‑level output level setting based on the receiving device’s
maximum input level before clipping. Check the specifications of your audio
gear if you are unsure about its maximum input level. Although you won’t
harm the AN‑16/o or your audio devices by using an incorrect level setting,
you do want to avoid sacrificing signal‑to‑noise ratio or distorting the audio
that passes through the system.
