ULTIMA PRE 2 | 

Manual

_

You can adjust the input gain on 
you input devices so that you can 
align the volume levels of your 
different inputs. There are six 
settings, which are x0.25, x0.50, 
x0.75, x1.00, x1.25 and x1.50.

Most modern input devices 
such as CD players have an 
unbalanced output voltage of 2V
and a balanced output 4V, which 
does not require any increased 
gain amplification. 

However, older audio equipment 
may have an output voltage of 
less than 2V, in which case you 
may like to adjust the input gain.

Once you have
