We highly, highly, highly recommend that you refer to the "Eclipse
System Signal Flow" sheet (after the Index) to visualize where the
following adjustments are made. All references to the "meter" can be set at
LEVELS {IN-GAIN}
This is an analog voltage gain of –30dB to +10dB. It
comes before the ADC
affects signals supplied at the analog inputs only! Its effect can be monitored by setting
the meter to
by adjusting the device connected to the analog inputs of the Eclipse. However, definitely
LEVELS {IN-GAIN}
use
LEVELS {OUT GAIN}
This is an analog voltage gain of –30dB to +10dB. It
comes after the DAC
the signals being sent out the analog output only! Note that

Ah, we've included this digital gain of –144.5dB to 0dB
simply because we could. It comes after the ADC and
hence is in the digital domain. It affects only the level of
the analog input. But - you probably don't want to use it! That's right, leave it at 0dB
unless you feel you have a good reason to do otherwise, such as disabling the analog inputs
(use -100dB). To adjust the analog input level, you should instead use the above-mentioned
LEVELS {IN-GAIN}

This is a digital gain of –144.5dB to 0dB. It affects sig-

This is a digital gain of –144.5dB to 0dB. It affects the
signal at the output of the DSP, after the Wet/Dry mix

digital outputs, use this to optimize the signal being sent out of them.
For the "audio purists": Assuming that you're not clipping the DAC
you saw the
need to turn the analog output down, and use
turn the analog output up. Why? You want the highest signal possible going through the
DAC for maximum resolution with minimum noise.
