the nine-step Procedure

 

(follow this procedure for each pair of channels)

1)  Disconnect the Speaker Connector Plugs.

2)  Turn off all processing on the source unit 

(bass/treble, loudness, EQ, etc.). Set fader 
control to center position and subwoofer 
level control to 3/4 of maximum (if used 
to drive the MHD600/4-24V). Disconnect 
the HD-RLC Remote Level Control 
temporarily (if one is being used).

3)  Switch the “Input Voltage” to “Low” and 

turn the “Input Sens.” control on both sets of 
channels all the way down.

4)  Set the source unit volume to 3/4 of full 

volume. If either set of channels is being 
driven by a source unit’s dedicated subwoofer 
output, also adjust the source unit’s subwoofer 
level control to 3/4 of maximum output. This 
will allow for reasonable gain overlap with 
moderate clipping at full volume.

5)  Using the chart below, determine the 

target voltage for input sensitivity 
adjustment according to the nominal 
impedance of the speaker system 
connected to each set of outputs.

6)  Verify that you have disconnected the Speaker 

Connector Plugs before proceeding. Play a 
track with an appropriate sine wave (within the 
frequency range to be amplified by each set of 
channels) at 3/4 source unit volume.

7)  Connect the AC voltmeter to the “Front 

Speaker Outputs” or “Rear Speaker Outputs” 
connectors of the amplifier. If the channel pair 
is operating in stereo, it is only necessary to 
measure one channel in the pair. 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 delivered for that set 
of channels. If excessive voltage is read 
on either set of channels with the control 
at minimum (full counterclockwise), 
switch the appropriate “Input Voltage” 
switch to “High” and re-adjust.

9)  Once you have adjusted each set of channels to 

its maximum unclipped output level, reconnect 
the speaker(s). The “Input Sens.” controls can 
now be adjusted downward if either or both 
sets of channels requires attenuation to achieve 
the desired system balance.
