Balance (continued)

The balance control facilitates precise adjustments in 0.1dB increments between 0.1 and 20.0dB. When the balance offset exceeds 20.0dB, the Nº 320S mutes the channel outputting the lower signal level.

To adjust the left-to-right channel balance of the main output connectors:

1.Press and release the front panel or remote control balance button to open the balance control on the front panel display as shown to the left.

The front panel balance LED lights red to indicate that the balance control is open.

2.Rotate the front panel volume knob or press the remote control volume ± buttons to make the desired adjustments.

Rotate the volume knob clockwise or press the volume + button to decrease the output level of the left channel. The balance control appears as shown to the left to indicate that balance is offset in favor of the right channel.

Rotate the volume knob counterclockwise or press the volume – button to decrease the output level of the right channel. The balance control appears as shown to the left to indicate that balance is offset in favor of the left channel.

Select the 0.0 setting to balance the output levels of the left and right channels, allowing both channels to output at the same level. The balance control appears as shown to the left to indicate that balance is centered between the left and right channels.

3.When the desired adjustments have been made, press and release the balance button to close the balance control.

Otherwise, the balance control automatically closes a few seconds after the last command is received. If this occurs, the selected setting is automatically applied.

The front panel balance LED remains lit if the left-to-right channel balance of the main output connectors is offset.

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