audio devices connected to the amplifier’s source

 

inputs for playback.

 

19. LEVEL ￿ and LEVEL ￿: Volume keys

 

These buttons change the amplifier’s volume setting

 

for loudspeakers and the preamplifier output "PRE

 

OUTPUT" (14). This volume setting can not be made

 

if the input "LINE5 MAIN INPUT" (11) has been

19

selected for playback.

 

20. GAIN: Push button for -8dB attenuation of Loudspeaker signals

With the activation of this function, the output signal for the power amplifier (14) and speakers (9) is redu- ced by 8 dB and thus the volume of the attached speakers. It should only be activated if even at low volume settings the volume is already very high.

21. BAL L and BAL R

Both keys can be used for changing the volume dif- ference between right and left speaker if that is desi- red. That is not possible for the source device con- nected to "LINE5 MAIN INPUT".
