Important Note:

 If a codec supports multiple stream programs and the 

Auto

 (default)

reference level is selected, the first codec to connect will configure the reference level
used for all subsequent connections. I.e. If a G3 codec connects first then the G3 Audio
Reference Level will be configured for all connections.

Configure Tieline G5 Audio Reference Scales

Tieline  G6  codecs  have  slightly  more  headroom  than  Tieline  G5  codecs,  therefore  the  audio
metering reference  scale  needs  to  be  adjusted  when  G6  codecs  connect  to  G5  Merlin,  Genie,  ViA
and  Bridge-IT  codecs.  The  G5  metering  scale  is  between  -38dBFS  and  0dBFS  and  audio  levels
should average around the nominal 0vu point at -18dBFS. Audio peaks should not exceed 0dBFS.

1. Press the 

SETTINGS 

 button.

2. Navigate to 

Audio Options

 and press the 

 button.

3. Navigate to 

Reference Level

 and press the 

 button.

4. Select Tieline G5 and press the 

 button.

Configure Tieline G3 Audio Reference Scales

Tieline  G6  and  G5  codecs  have  more  audio  headroom  than  Tieline  G3  audio  codecs,  therefore  the
audio metering reference scale needs  to  be  adjusted  when  these  codecs  connect  to  a  Commander
or i-Mix G3 codec. The G3 metering scale is  between  -29dBFS  and  0dBFS  and  audio  levels  should
average around the nominal 0vu point at -14dBFS. Audio peaks should not exceed 0dBFS.

1. Press the 

SETTINGS 

 button.

2. Navigate to 

Audio Options

 and press the 

 button.

3. Navigate to 

Reference Level

 and press the 

 button.

4. Select 

Tieline G3

 and press 

.

Configure Report-IT Audio Reference Scales

The 

Report-IT

  setting  is  used  for  compatibility  when  streaming  audio  using  Tieline's  Report-IT

smartphone application.
