Audio Configuration

Step 1

For the Lineout and Preamp outputs, select mono or stereo audio, and select ‑10 dBV (unbalanced) or +4 dBu (balanced) via RS‑232 control.

Default: -10 dBV.

MID

Normal: a blinking LED indicates that the level

MIN

is set properly for maximum power output.

Signal: when lit, this indicates that a signal of at least -20 dBV (-18 dBu) is detected at the input.

NOTE Increasing the audio level beyond the point at which the Mid/normal LED blinks may result in a distorted output signal.

NOTE In setup mode a blinking or lit Mid/normal LED indicates that the power amplifier is capable of delivering maximum power output.

NOTE You may not need to adjust the per-input gain, because the default input gain adjustment is set for consumer audio sources such as VCRs, DVD players, and laptop computers.

MLS 406 (nonamplified model)

Step 2

Via RS-232, set Aux/Mix to on or off. If the Aux/Mix input will be used, use a small screwdriver to adjust the Aux/Mix input level.

Step 3

Disconnect audio output devices.

Step 4

Select an input and set audio input sensitivities.

NAudio input sensitivity levels must be adjusted with an active audio signal.

Peak: if blinking/lit, the level is set too high.

MAX

Normal: if blinking/lit, the output level at the

MID

Lineout and Preamp connectors is near the

MIN

specified output level of -10 dBV or +4 dBu.

Signal: when lit, this indicates that a signal of at least -20 dBV (-18 dBu) is detected at the input.

4c. Release the input button to save the setting for that input.

4d. Repeat steps 4a through 4c for each input.

Step 5

Reconnect the output devices, and via RS-232 set the global treble and bass levels and turn on loudness control, if desired.
