Nº 320S

Basic Operation

7.volume knob

Adjusts master volume level. Rotating the volume knob increases (clockwise) and decreases (counterclockwise) master volume level in 1.0dB increments up to 23.0dB and in 0.1dB increments above 23.0dB. The minimum master volume level setting is OFF. The MaxVol parameter can be used to determine the maximum master volume level setting in 0.1dB increments between 40.0 and 80.0dB. The factory-default maximum master volume level is 80.0dB.

The Offset parameter can be used to determine individual input volume level offsets in 0.1dB increments between –20.0 and +20.0dB. The factory-default input volume level offset is 0.0dB. Whenever an input is selected, the Nº 320S automatically applies the Offset parameter setting to master volume level.

Note the following about using the volume knob:

Rotating the volume knob quickly accelerates the rate of change to accommodate large adjustments. Rotating the volume knob too quickly decelerates the rate of change to prevent accidental adjustments that could send dangerous signal levels to the loudspeakers.

• Rotating the volume knob slowly decelerates the rate of

2-3

change to accommodate fine, precise adjustments.

 

Note

The master volume control does not affect record output levels.

All Nº 320S volume controls, including master volume and balance, are deactivated when SSP mode (page 4-8) is activated.
