∙The lowest noise contribution from the analogue–digital converter.

∙The best loudness match when switching from LP to other sources.

However, under many circumstances you may prefer to set 562 to a lower sensitivity – i.e. larger number in Gain – because you prefer the sound overall. The reason is that the analogue–digital converter has such a wide range compared to the surface-noiseof LPs, that you can allow more headroom (for very short clicks due to dust etc.) without any noise penalty. This alternative fitting of the available dynamic-range of the LP signal into the 562 input ‘window’, can give better sound overall but at the expense of level matching between sources.

Tip Start at the 2dB setting.
