The headroom of the audio signals in Nord Modular is -12 dB for every sound generating module. Ex-
amples of sound generating modules are oscillators and LFOs. The headroom in the mix buses of the out-
put modules are -6dB. If you mix more than four sound generating modules in a voice, at high or un-
attenuated levels, distortion may occur. This can easily be dealt with by attenuating the level of each
sound generating module.
In the figure below is shown the headroom for two oscillators (per voice) connected to a mixer and an
output module. As an option, all voices can be routed to the Common Voice Area instead of to a physical
output. To be able to output the signal from the Common Voice Area to a physical output, another out-
put module must be used as last module. The headroom in the mix buses of the output modules are -
6dB. To compensate the attenuation of the extra output module, there is a +6dB button on the PolyAr-
eaIn module. Activating the +6dB amplification can be useful if you use only a few voices. When using
more voices you may have to deactivate the amplification to avoid distortion.
