LEVEL CONTROL The 901 level control is assembled with an ultra precision 24 position gold contact switch. Using low inductance surface mount metal film resistors this switch is the ultimate attenuator for sonic fidelity and level accuracy. Left-right channel balance is maintained to within 0.05dB at any setting. The attenuation curve is shown in the table below.

GAIN RANGE The gain range switch provides an extra 10dB of gain for monitoring –10dB signals or use with low sensitivity headphones. With the LEVEL CONTROL at maximum, the LOW gain position provides +10dB overall gain when using the analog inputs. When using the digital input, this setting will yield +20dBu out at 0dBFS. When the GAIN RANGE switch is depressed the overall gain is +20dB
