Level Indicators; Volume Control - Renkforce SA-101U Mode D'emploi

c) Level indicators
The MASTER LEVEL indicator (4) shows the level of the output signal.
The level indicators of channels CH-1 to CH-4 show the input levels of the respective channels.
The level on the indicators should not exceed 0 db continuously as otherwise the music signal
can be distorted. Signal peaks that cause the indicator to briefly light up above 0 db do not pose
a problem.
d) Volume control
• Set the volume of the connected amplifier to minimum.
• Turn the TRIM control (3) to the minimum position.
• Move the channel fader (8) and the MASTER fader (9) to the minimum position as well.
• Use the input selection switches (3) to select the desired channel input.
• Start the connected playback device, e.g. a CD player. If this device has a volume control, set the volume
to about 75 % of the maximum level.
• Slide the respective channel fader (8) all the way to the top.
• Use the TRIM control (3) of the active channel to adjust the input level. The signal level is shown by the
level indicator of the corresponding channel. It should not exceed 0 db.
• Push up the MASTER fader (9) until the maximum level is shown on the MASTER LEVEL indicator. 0 db
should not be exceeded here either.
• Now set the desired maximum volume using the volume control on the amplifier. Make sure that the
sound is not distorted.
• Use controls HI/MID/LOW (3) to change the sound characteristics of the respective channel.
• Use the MASTER BALANCE control (13) to set the volume balance between the left and the right master
channel.
• Repeat the setting for all mixer channels. All channels should be set to about the same volume so that
there are no great differences in volume between the channels when crossfading. Otherwise you would
have to readjust the output signal.
• After you have made these settings, only use the MASTER fader (9) when you want to change the play-
back volume.
Make sure that the connected loudspeakers and the amplifier are not overloaded. The sound
should never be distorted.
If distorted music signals can be heard although the volume on the amplifier has not been set
too high and the mixer has been set correctly, switch off the mixer immediately and check the
connection. If the connection is correct, please contact a specialist.
