  • Page 134: Setting The Input And Output Gain Structure

    Meters within the DSP Configurator program are peak-type meters, referenced to “full scale,” or 0 dBFS. For the DTP CrossPoint 84, 0 dBFS corresponds to 22 dBu, which is the maximum output level of the switcher. Setting the Input and Output Gain Structure Before calibrating loudness, set up the system gain structure.

  • Page 135: Finalizing The Output Gain Structure

    Voice levels at microphone inputs can vary greatly, making audio optimization difficult for these inputs. Having the meters average around -20 dBFS gives enough headroom to accommodate sudden changes to voice levels. Further adjustment may be necessary.
