Rear Panel
Rear Panel Features
1. Light Bar Brilliance setting – toggle
this button to set the desired lumines-
cence of that nebulistic front panel
light bar to bright, dim, or off.
2. Inputs – The Avalon G4 features both
Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA
inputs to connect to your preamplifier
outputs. Any standard line level audio
signal can be connected here. The
STATUS LED will light blue when the
channel is operating normally.
3. RCA Thru* – These RCA jacks are
for looping your audio input signal
to another pair of inputs on another
device or section of the Avalon G4.
These line-level outputs are a hard-
wired copy of whatever is coming in
on the inputs. *While “Through” here
is spelled like it sounds, there wasn’t
enough room on the richly dense rear
panel. We sacrificed some grammati-
cal correctness to fit more on the rear
panel– we felt it was a decent trade
off.
4. Level – This control provides for Gain
adjustment on the input signal. Use
this to calibrate optimal signal level
to drive the Avalon G4 to full output.
These adjustments are applied per
channel input, so for stereo signals,
best practice is to match the SPL
from the one output to the rest of the
channels on the Avalon G4. We have
detents there to make this easy. If
those don’t work for you can use an
measurement tool like our DM-RTA or
the SA-4100i to test and calibrate your
level settings for each output.
5. Stereo/Mono – These switches allow
the channel pair to be used in stereo,
or combined in mono. In mono,
channel 1 or 2 inputs are summed, so
just use one input. The same applies to
channels 3 and 4 in mono, just use one.
6. LP/OFF/HP – This switch gives you
the option of setting a High-Pass, or
Low-Pass crossover. The OFF setting
bypasses the crossover section. High
Pass means that the frequencies
above the crossover FREQ setting will
pass through, while lower frequen-
cies are attenuated. Low Pass allows
the frequencies below this crossover
frequency to pass through to your
subwoofer for example.
7. FREQ (Hz) – this sets the frequency
of either a high-pass or low-pass
crossover frequency if LP or HP is set
by the LP/OFF/HP switch (6).
