Appendix A:

Input Sensitivity Level Setting Following the directions below will allow the

installer to adjust the input sensitivity of each amplifier channel pair simply and easily in just a few minutes using equipment which is commonly available in installation bays.

Necessary Equipment

•Digital AC Voltmeter

•CD with a sine-wave test tone recorded at

0 dB reference level in the frequency range to be amplified for that set of channels

(50 Hz for subwoofer channels, 1 kHz for a midrange application). Do not use attenuated test tones (-10 dB, -20 dB, etc.).

The Nine-Step Procedure

1) Disconnect the speaker(s) from the

amplifier’s speaker output connectors.

2) Turn off all processing (bass/treble, loudness,

EQ, etc.) on the source unit, processors (if used)

and amplifier. Set fader control to center position

and subwoofer level control to 3/4 of maximum.

If connected, set the amplifier’s Remote Bass

Control at maximum (full clockwise).

8)Increase the “Input Sens.” control until the target voltage is observed with the voltmeter.

9)Once you have adjusted the amplifier to its maximum low-distortion output level, reconnect the speaker(s). The “Input Sens.” controls can now be adjusted downward if the amplifier requires attenuation to achieve the desired system balance.

! IMPORTANT

Do not increase any “Input Sens.” setting for any amplifier channel or channel pair in the system beyond the maximum level established during this procedure. Doing so will result in audible distortion and possible speaker damage.

It will be necessary to re-adjust the “Input Sens.” for the affected channels if any equalizer boost is activated after setting the “Input Sens.” with this procedure. This applies to any EQ boost circuit, including source unit tone controls or EQ circuits. EQ cuts will not require re-adjustment.

Crossover Section:

3) Turn the “Input Sens.” control all the

way down.

4) Set the source unit volume to 3/4 of full

volume. This will allow for reasonable gain

overlap with moderate clipping at full volume.

5) Using the chart on this page, determine the target

voltage for input sensitivity adjustment according

to the nominal impedance of the speaker system

connected to the amplifier outputs.

6) Verify that you have disconnected the speakers

before proceeding. Play a track with an

appropriate sine wave (within the frequency

range to be amplified) at 3/4 source unit volume.

7) Connect the AC voltmeter to the speaker output

connectors of the amplifier. Make sure you test

the voltage at the correct connectors (+ and –).
