Viewing and adjusting the input audio level (audio models)

On models with audio, the audio level of each input can be displayed and adjusted through a range of -18 dB to +24 dB to ensure that there is no noticeable volume difference among sources (figure 3-56). The audio level can be adjusted from the front panel or under serial port or Ethernet control. The default audio input level is 0 dB.

There is one audio level setting per input. The audio level setting is shared by the left and right audio inputs.

The audio level settings are stored in non-volatile memory. When power is removed and restored, the audio level settings are retained.

Exiting Audio mode by pressing the Audio button always returns the I/O configuration to RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers) or video (MAV Plus switchers) and audio selected for configuration.
