    +6 or a counter-clockwise turn is used to reduce the gain. This would be the preferred setting for a distributed audio system with variable preamp line outputs, such as any of the NuVo systems. Reducing the gain can also be useful for limiting the maximum power going to the speakers.
  • Page 12 Setting the power mode switch to the left in the Audio mode (Fig. 5) sets the amplifier to respond to the presence of an audio signal. If you are triggering the amplifier in this way, you should expect a slight delay before it turns on. When the audio signal is removed the amplifier will remain on for approximately three minutes after the incoming audio signal has ended before the unit turns off.
