(2) PRE OUT

Two operating modes are possible with the M219’s preamp output:

Floating Volume (Factory setting from serial # 2000):

This is the standard mode setting. In this case, the PRE OUT level changes parallel to the speaker level. This means that as you increase the volume at the speakers, for example, the PRE OUT level is automatically changed at the same time.

Application: You should select Floating Volume mode if, for example, and additional output device or an active subwoofer is connected, whose volume should also be controlled by the M219. This means that the M219 speaker output remains active.

Fixed Volume:

In this mode, the volume control and the M219 output devices are deactivated, i.e. the volume cannot be controlled by any wall-mounted or infrared remote control. The speakers connected to the M219 remain silent. Irrespective of whether it is addressed through the multiroom bus or a local input (Local IN 1 2 3), each source has a standard level, the so-called Line Level.

Application: The Fixed Volume mode has been conceived principally for applications where digital REVOX speakers are to be connected to the M219 over a DLC2 interface.
