Optimizing the Analog Audio

The level for each analog audio input can be adjusted within a range of -18 dB to +24 dB,
so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources and for the best headroom
and signal-to-noise ratio. The volume for each analog audio output can be adjusted from full
loudness to effectively muted. Adjust the levels as follows:
1.
2.

Power on the audio sources, the switcher, and the audio players.
Switch among the inputs (see
audio with a critical ear or measuring the output audio level with test equipment, such
as a VU meter.
As necessary, adjust the input audio level of each input (see
the Input Audio Level on page 51) so that the approximate output level is the same
for all selected inputs.
Tie an audio input to each analog audio output.
As necessary, adjust the output audio level of each output (see
Adjusting the Analog Output Volume
Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on.
Check to see if one or more outputs are muted.
Ensure an active input is selected for output on the switcher.
Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied.
Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.
