Page 20: Setting Minimum/Maximum Volume
SETTING MINIMUM/MAXIMUM VOLUME The output’s “min volume” and “max volume” settings are the absolute volume levels A volume level of 0 means that the signal level coming into the switch is the same as the signal level going out Each step of one of the settings is a 05dB change So a setting of 1 = +05dB gain, and -1 = -05dB loss So the default values are 24 = 120dB gain, and -120 = -60dB loss The gain command is given in 0.5dB steps and uses an offset of 200 to indicate a gain of 0.0dB. -
