hanges are no longer volatile. 

User Volume default is still 00dB but 

switching amp to Standby no longer resets

olume

 to

 

default

. User Volume should now be used for permanent gain matching

;

 

there is no Input Gain 

adjustment

 in Installer Menu

.

Presets 

change sound to suit your circumstances.  

Default Preset is Normal

 (identical to previous model's Reference Preset).  

Cinema Preset boosts bottom end at 40Hz for extra oomph during movies.  Night preset reduces deep subwoofer frequencies

 

under 

35Hz as a courtesy to family, friends, and neighbors.  User 1, User 2, and 

User 3 custom preset

s are configured via IP (only) for 

special circumstances or different listeners using 

2 parametric filters

 

&

 a separate default Volume per User Preset.  The amplifier 

maintains its preset when put into standby.  For repeatability, calibrate to default Normal preset.

RackAmp 700 DSP 

drives speaker loads of 4 ohms or higher.

 Use 

with

 8 ohm 

Mini & Bronze subs
