1. Gain
The Gain of the built-in mic-pre amplifiers is switched in 1dB steps and a total of 50dB of gain can
be added.
To change the mic-pre gain press the “Gain” button - this will change the display to show the gain in
the middle of the screen – and use the rotary controller to alter the gain.
To return back to the main screen either press the “Gain” button again or wait for the gain screen to
automatically time out.
2. Limiter
A switchable fixed threshold soft limiter is provided to eliminate the possibility of ‘digital
overload’ and any resulting distortion. It is recommended that the limiter is engaged at all times,
particularly in wide dynamic range environments such as concert halls or sporting events where
sudden crowd applause can create high sound pressure levels.
To enable the limiter press the “Limit” button - this will change the display to show the limit
status in the middle of the screen – further presses of the “Limit” button will toggle the status of
the limiter between on and off. A red lamp will light up on the display next to the limiter label
to indicate limiter activity.
To return back to the main screen either press the “Limiter” button again or wait for the gain screen
to automatically time out.
