• Select this character (if the character list option was
selected in step 3). The blinking cursor will advance to the
next character space. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all desired
characters have been entered. When the seventh character
is selected, the SAVING DATA message will appear on the
front panel display to indicate that the new input name is
being saved.
Note
The factory-default input name must be restored one
character at a time using the character list (unless factory-
default settings are restored).
Gain
Optimizes gain levels for the input using the stereo input connector
for which the selected input is assigned. Increasing the Gain
parameter setting increases gain levels for the selected input,
which sometimes prevents input sources with low gain levels from
producing low signal-to-noise ratios. Decreasing the Gain
parameter setting decreases gain levels for the selected input,
which sometimes prevents input sources with high gain levels
from producing distortion.
Note
The Gain parameter should be set before the Offset parameter.
Determines individual input volume level offsets in 0.1dB increments
between –20.0dB and +20.0dB. The factory-default input volume
level offset is 0.0dB. Whenever an input is selected, the Nº326S
automatically applies the Offset parameter setting to master
volume level.
In some cases, this causes some input sources to sound softer or
louder than others. If this occurs, select the Offset parameter
setting that compensates for the volume level difference, allowing
all associated components to output at a comparable volume
level.
