Caution!	Hearing damage due to high volumes!
	This is a professional conference system. Commercial use
	is subject to the rules and regulations of the trade associ-

	risks arising from use.

This system is capable of producing sound pressure exceeding 85 dB(A). 85 dB(A) is the sound pressure cor- responding to the maximum permissible volume which is by law (in some countries) allowed to affect your hearing for the duration of a working day. It is used as a basis according to the specifications of industrial medicine. Higher volumes or longer durations can damage your hearing. At higher volumes, the duration must be short- ened in order to prevent hearing damage. The following are sure signs that you have been subjected to excessive noise for too long a time:

yYou can hear ringing or whistling sounds in your ears.

yYou have the impression (even for a short time only) that you can no longer hear high notes.

To set the volume of the output signal available at one of the audio out- puts:

From the central unit’s operating menu, choose “Aux-In/Out”.

Choose the desired audio output.

Choose “Volume”.

The current volume is shown on the display.

Adjust the volume and press the ENTER key to save your setting.

Adjusting the volume differences between the Aux Out 1 outputs

The volume of the AUX OUT 1 output available at the XLR-3M socket differs from the volume of the AUX OUT 1 output available at the 15-pole sub-D socket . If you switch between the two outputs during a confer- ence, the volume can vary.
