FPS1800 has high input sensitivity, so it may amplify the hum and hiss inherent in some audio program sources.
This noise is not due to a fault in
the speaker system. You can minimize this background noise by following these guidelines:
❒Decide which volume control you would like to use as the master level control: the FPS1800 volume control or the program source’s volume control.
If you choose to use the FPS1800 volume control, first set the program source’s volume control high (at least 70% of the maximum level). Where there is more than one software level control, set all volume controls high. Then leave the controls. Use the FPS1800 volume control to adjust overall output.
If you choose to use the program source’s volume control, first set the program source’s volume control high (at least 70% of the maximum level). Then adjust the FPS1800 volume control until the distortion is inaudible. Set the FPS1800 volume control aside. Use instead the program source’s volume control to adjust overall output.
❒Adjust the output control of your audio card until the noise disappears. This may require trial and error.
