19.9 ANALOG OUTPUT LEVEL
You can adjust the analog audio output level (XLR connectors) through the Output Level control:
DEFAULT SCREEN
OUTPUT CALIBRATION menu
OUTPUT LEVEL page
The Output Level parameter expresses the peak value (in dBu) achieved by the audio output signal (which
therefore corresponds to the maximum frequency deviation).
To set the optimum audio output level, it is advisable to enable the Peak Reference Tone. The Peak Tone is
a 400-Hz reference tone that identifies the peak value of the audio signal, which must match the maximum
frequency deviation of 75KHz. In other words, the peak tone identifies an audio level (expressed in dBu) that
will never be exceeded during normal processor operation.
To enable the Peak Tone:
DEFAULT SCREEN
OUTPUT CALIBRATION menu
OUTPUT MODE menu
PEAK REFERENCE TONE
To disable the Peak Reference Tone:
DEFAULT SCREEN
OUTPUT CALIBRATION menu
OUTPUT MODE menu
NORMAL MODE
NOTE: The processor factory settings are 0 dB for both input and output. To achieve the best degree of
evenness, we therefore recommend adjusting the equipment connected to the processor (stereo encoders,
exciters, etc.) rather than the processor itself.
We remind you that pre-emphasis may be disabled on the outputs, although it is not recommended.
-
Where there are long sections of cable and unbalanced connections, we recommend setting the output
level to above 0dB to compensate for possible attenuation by the cables.
-
The peak output value is the same as the Output Level parameter only for processed musical signals,
which are dynamic and constantly variable. For static (sine) signals, the output peak is attenuated by a
few dB compared to the Output Level shown on the display; the exact degree of attenuation depends on
the curve selected.
19.10 DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT LEVEL
The digital audio output can not be altered by the user.
