Level Matching & Input Gain Controls
If you have ever listened to a friend’s “killer” home audio system and heard lots of hiss,
clicks or pops, then you may have experienced an improperly level-­‐matched system. The
following steps will help you through the process of level matching, although at the end of
the day, your ears will be your guide!
1.
Depending on your source (i.e. SONOS Connect, TV, CD Player, Gaming Console, Digital
Player, Receiver, Preamp etc.) and the amount of gain you want to set, adjust one of the
three ‘Gain SeZng knobs’ on the back of the Rialto 400 (Digital Volume, Analog Volume
or Speaker Level Volume) to ‘minimum’ for the input you are adjus`ng the gain for. This
is known as “turning down your gains”.
2. Start playing some dynamic music and adjust the volume level on your source unit to
your normal listening level using the source’s volume control.
3. Now increase the amount of gain on your Rialto 400 so that the volume increases to
your maximum ‘LOUD’ listening level. For some of you, this may be louder than others!
4.
Con`nue to fine tune the gain level on your Rialto 400 to adjust to personal preferences,
‘loudness’ and musicality! At this level of gain, it will s`ll allow you to increase the
source volume up and down to achieve minimum levels or rock the houses in the next
street (assuming your speakers are game for it and you have understanding neighbors!).

5. Repeat for the various source inputs you are using on the Rialto 400. The
end result being that you will have amazing sounding music and the
ability through level matching the ‘gains’ with your sources to ‘crank up
the volume’ fully benefiZng from the power and capability of the Rialto
400 ‘wabs’ and the musicality of the internal DAC. It’s like magic!
