Balanced Connection Notes/Amplifier Gain Measurement (Cont.)

Setting amplifier gains:

• If every amplifier has a level control, adjust each so that the amplifier has a gain of 27dB.

• If none of the amplifiers has a level control, and the woofer amp and the mid/high amp gains differ by more than

6dB, then you will need an external level control for the amp with the highest gain.  Adjust this control so the
highest gain amp matches the lower gain amp.  Your dealer may be able to provide such a control for you.

• If only one of the amps has a level control, and it also has the highest gain, then set it to match the lower gain

amp.

• If only one of the amps has a level control, and it also has the lowest gain, then you will need an external level

control for the highest gain amp.  Set the lowest gain amp level control to maximum and set the external level
control of the highest gain amp to match the lower gain amp.
