The System Menus

Press System to enter the System menu, and use the knob to select the particular menu you want. With the menu of your choice displayed (Audio, Modes, etc.), use the < and > buttons to enter the submenu and select parameters, and the knob to adjust parameter values. When you're finished making adjustments within any menu, press System to return to the main System menu, or press the < and > buttons to select another control from the same menu.

The Audio menu allows you to change the settings of controls which affect the MPX G2 audio output characteristics.

The Soft Sat control puts an analog soft-knee limiter in front of the input of the MPX G2 A/D converters. This control essentially allows you to trade the harshness of digital distortion for a softer, analog version. The harshness associated with A/D overload at signal levels above -3dBfs is reduced. In- creased analog distortion will occur in the range of -3dBfs to 0dBfs. The available settings are On and Off.
