Programming Levels - Meridian 502 User Manual

Programming levels

The 502 Analogue Controller allows you to program the level of
each source independently, to suit your other equipment, so that
when you switch between sources the volume stays the same.
When you are programming levels the analogue controller
operates as a preamplifier with a fixed volume setting equivalent
to 65. This level is chosen to be comfortably loud on average
sources. You can switch between sources and adjust the
relevant input levels to achieve the setting you want.
You can increase the sensitivity of any source by up to 30 steps
of 1dB. The loudest source, usually CD, should therefore be
chosen as the reference.
