channel volume. A level of "00" in the number displav means zero
attenuation (or maximum volume).
SYSTET GAI]I
Innersound's unique balance control makes it possible to adjust the
overall system gain. For example, let's assume you want to reduce the
gain by l0 dB. Simply press the "MODE" button once' which will switch
you to the right channel. Reduce the gain by l0 dB with the volume
knob. Press the "MODE" button again, which will switch you to the left
channel. Reduce the gain on that channel by l0 dB. Press the "MODE"
button again to return to "MA|N."
The channels will be in perfect balance, but their levels will be reduced by
exactly l0 dB. As proof of this, you will see that for a given acoustic
output level, you will have to turn up the volume so the number indicator
reads l0 dB higher.
Why would you want to do this? There are many reasons. For example, if
you have retatively deticate speakers and an extremely powerful amplifier,
you can overdrive the speakers and damage them. By reducing the gain,
you can limit the output to any safe level you wish.
Another reason is for comfort. lt is easy to accidently set the volume too
high and get a very loud "blast" of music you didn't expect. By setting
the gain so that the maximum loudness level is an indicated 99 dB, the
level will never be excessive.
RETOTE COIITROT
The RCP-l Preamplifier is designed to operate via the front panel controls
and remote control. The following functions are controllable by remote
