INSTALLATION
For example, with an STL where 100% modulation = +18dBu, and with a
studio where 0VU = +4dBu:
+18−(+4)−14 = set gain of the 4000 to 0dB
For facilities using PPM meters, we suggest:
100% peak level (dBu)–PPM reference level (dBu)−9db = gain of the 4000
For example, with an STL where 100% modulation = +15dBu, and with a
studio where PPM reference level = +6dBu:
+15−(+6)−9 = set gain of the 4000 to 0dB

If gain reduction is indicated, the standard line-up level is above threshold

the 4000 for less than unity gain by reducing the input control setting.

material.
