Adjusting Output Level

Bass Level Control

In most instances, the FPS2000 Digital Master Level Control will be the most convenient way to adjust the overall playback level. It responds instantly and doesn’t require you to pause games or programs. But there are other output level controls present in software to consider.

Versions of Microsoft® Windows® and most other operating systems offer an on-screen sound level Control, while most game programs provide yet another one. For the FPS2000 Digital Master Level Control to perform at its best, these “software” level controls should be set to an “optimum” position and then left alone.

Set any software volume controls to approximately 75% of their maximum output level. This should allow the FPS2000 Digital Master Level Control to achieve the highest output level desired when set to its loudest setting.

If the FPS2000 Digital’s

maximum output is still not sufficient at the extreme setting of its Volume Control, try increasing one, and only one, of the software volume controls to increase overall output.

If you find the optimum output level of the FPS2000 Digital system occurs at too low a setting of its Volume Control, reduce the setting of one software volume control (preferably the operating system’s output level control) to achieve greater control range. Note: Some software volume controls may introduce distortion when set to their maximum level. Experiment to achieve the cleanest sound.

The output of the subwoofer can be adjusted to suit the listener’s taste. Start with the control in the 12 o’clock position (see diagram N). After using the system for a couple of hours, adjust the control up or down to fine-tune it.
