INPUT GAIN
Using this switch you can increase the input
signal by 20 decibels before it is sent to the dig-
ital analog converter. This means that with the
proper cords you can connect a microphone,
an electric guitar or a record player directly to
the Virus rack XL. However, to attain the best
possible sound quality, it is advisable to patch
the signal into an appropriate signal processor
such as a microphone preamplifier, a mixer, or a
guitar preamp before you route it into the input
of the Virus.
í
Please turn down the Master Volume knob
before you turn input gain up. Be aware that
boosting the signal by 20 decibels increases the
level tenfold!

INPUT PHONO
Since record players have a characteristic fre-
quency response, we equipped the Virus rack
XL with a suitable Phono equalizer. It may be
activated via the INPUT Phono parameter.
INPUT BOOST
With INPUT BOOST, you can increase the sig-
nal level of the two external inputs by up to 36
dB. The signal is boosted in the digital section
of the Virus, so the noise level of the analog-
digital converter increases automatically. Con-
sequently you should dial in the cleanest, loud-
est possible signal at the exter nal sound
generator. The Virus features a signal level indi-
cator that allows you to monitor the signal level
visually: see LED MODE in the CTRL menu
["Midi Dump TX" on page 122]. You should only
turn up the INPUT BOOST when you are unable
to dial in a sufficient signal level prior to the ex-
ternal inputs. At a value of 0, the signal level is
not boosted at all.
This is a global parameter, i.e. it affects all in-
volved PARTs and INPUT DIRECT THRU (see
paragraph below). It is not stored along with the
SINGLE PROGRAM.
