Audio settings 

You only need to adjust this section if you would like your 
Barix Exstreamer to start up with custom sound 
adjustments. For example you would like your Barix 
Exstreamer to always start with maximum bass, than you 
could adjust that here to become default. These 
adjustments will be stored even if the unit looses power. 

 

Volume

 

Select the preferred volume (power up value). 

Volume Gain 

Select "0", "-3" or "-6" dB to adjust the line output level to 
the sensitivity of the attached device.  
 

Mute Volume

 

Choose "On" to mute the sound output at startup else 
choose "Off". 

Lock Volume 

Choose "On" to lock volume on the control interface. This 
denies the volume control by the user. "Off" allows free 
volume control. 
 

Balance 

Choose between "Left max." and "Right max." (L10..R10). 

Bass

 

Choose between "-10" and "10". 

Treble

 

Choose between "-10" and "10". 

Loudness Level

 

Choose between "0" and "20". 

Loudness

 

Switch the Loudness "On" or "Off". 

Output Mode 

Select Stereo, Mono or Bridge. If Mono is selected the 
audio output is always mono. On Bridge mode the right 
channel is inverted and audio output is mono. The Bridge 
mode is used to allow a bigger output signal.
