VARIABLE SIGNAL LEVELS: The options in this section allow the user to
match the Audiophile analog output levels to the operating signal levels of external
audio equipment. Two level selections are available: 'Consumer' and -10dBV. The
'Consumer' setting is the least sensitive of the two settings, and '-10dBV' the most
sensitive. The 'Consumer' setting therefore has the most headroom and can accept
the hottest signals. '-10dBV' should be chosen if you feel (or hear) 'Consumer'
levels clipping or distorting your externally connected equipment.
NOTE:
'Consumer' levels. If you want to maintain equal analog signal
levels in and out of the Audiophile (also known as "unity gain"),
you should select consumer output levels to match the consumer
input levels.
