APPENDIX A:

Input Sensitivity Level Setting

Following the directions below will allow the

installer to adjust the input sensitivity of each

amplifier channel pair simply and easily in just a few

minutes using equipment which is commonly

available in installation bays.

Necessary Equipment

• Digital AC Voltmeter

• CD with a sine-wave test tone recorded at 0 dB

reference level in the frequency range to be

amplified for that set of channels (50 Hz for

subwoofer channels, 1 kHz for a midrange

application). Do not use attenuated test tones 

(-10 dB, -20 dB, etc.).

The Nine-Step Procedure

1)

Disconnect the speaker(s) from the 

amplifier’s speaker output connectors.

2)

Turn off all processing (bass/treble, loudness,

EQ, etc.) on the source unit, processors (if used)

and amplifier. Set fader control to center position

and subwoofer level control to 3/4 of maximum (if

used to feed the e4300).

3)

Turn the 

“Input Sens.”

control all the 

way down.

4)

Set the source unit volume to 3/4 of full

volume. This will allow for reasonable gain overlap

with moderate clipping at full volume.

5) 

Using the chart on this page, determine the

target voltage for input sensitivity adjustment

according to the nominal impedance of the speaker

system connected to the amplifier outputs.

6)

Verify that you have disconnected the

speakers before proceeding. Play a track with an

appropriate sine wave (within the frequency range

to be amplified by the e4300) at 3/4 source 

unit volume.

7)

Connect the AC voltmeter to the speaker

output connectors of the amplifier. If the channel

pair is operating in stereo, it is only necessary to

measure one channel. If bridged, make sure you test

the voltage at the correct connectors (L+ and R–).

8)

Increase the 

“Input Sens.”

control until the

target voltage is observed with the voltmeter.

9)

Once you have adjusted the e4300 to its

maximum low-distortion output level, reconnect

the speaker(s).The 

“Input Sens.”

controls can now

be adjusted 

downward

if the amplifier requires

attenuation to achieve the desired system balance.

Do not increase any 

“Input Sens.”

setting for

any amplifier channel or channel pair in the system

beyond the maximum level established during this

procedure. Doing so will result in audible

distortion and possible speaker damage.

It will be necessary to re-adjust the 

“Input Sens.”

for the affected channels if any

equalizer boost is activated after setting the 

“Input Sens.”

with this procedure.This applies to

any EQ boost circuit, including source unit tone

controls or EQ circuits. EQ cuts will not require

re-adjustment.
