Optimizing the Audio (Systems with Audio BMEs)

Each individual input audio level can be adjusted within a range of -18 dB to
+24 dB, so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources and for the
best headroom and signal-to-noise ratio. Adjust the audio gain and attenuation as
follows:
1. Connect audio sources to all desired inputs and connect the audio outputs to
output devices such as audio players. See Audio input and output (systems with
audio BMEs), in chapter 2, Installation. For best results, wire all of the inputs
and the outputs balanced.
2. Power on the audio sources, the switcher, and the audio players.

equipment, such as a VU meter.
As necessary, adjust the input audio level of each input (see Viewing and
