Optimizing the Audio

Each individual input audio level can be adjusted within a range of -18 dB to
+24 dB, so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources and for the
best headroom and signal-to-noise ratio. Adjust the audio gain and attenuation as
follows:

1

.

Connect audio sources to all desired inputs and connect the audio outputs
to output devices such as audio players. See Audio connections, in chapter 2,
Installation. For best results, wire all of the inputs and the outputs balanced.

2

.

Power on the audio sources, the switcher, and the audio players.

3

.

Switch among the inputs (see Creating a confi guration, in this chapter), listening
to the audio with a critical ear or measuring the output audio level with test
equipment, such as a VU meter.

4

.

As necessary, adjust the input audio level of each input (see Viewing and
adjusting the input audio level
, in this chapter) so that the approximate output
level is the same for all selected inputs.

5

.

As necessary, adjust the output audio level of each input (see Viewing and
adjusting the output volume
, in this chapter).
