INSTALLATION STEP 3
LEVEL SETTING
The input level is adjusted by means of the input level control located on the front of the amplifier. This is a unique
In the ideal situation, all components in the audio system reach maximum undistorted output at the same time. If you send a distorted signal to an amplifier, it is simply going to amplify distorted information. The same holds true if an outboard processor or crossover begins to distort before you have maximum output from the amplifier. By setting all components to reach clipping at the same time, you can maximize the output of your system. For the RUBICON amplifiers, follow these steps for setting the input levels:
1.Turn the amplifier’s input levels to minimum position
2.Set the source unit volume to approximately 3/4 of full volume.
3.While playing dynamic source material, slowly increase the amplifier’s input level until a near maximum undistorted level is heard in the system.
The clipping indicators on the top of the amplifier let you know when the output of the amplifier is reaching its maximum level, and has begun to clip.
FRONT SPOILER
Once the amplifier is installed and the proper levels set, place the front spoiler in position, and secure it on using the supplied hardware.
