Optimizing Input Gain and Output Volume
Getting a quality volume level from your system relies on the combined adjustments of input channel gain,
master volume, and channel volume. Do the following for each channel used.
Make sure the Master volume, Trim, and channel volume controls are set to minimum.
1.
2.
Adjust input channel Trim.
A.
If applicable, adjust the volume of your instrument/source to the desired level.
B.
Play your instrument/source at a performance level.
C.
Slowly turn the Trim control clockwise until the signal/clip indicator glows green. If the indicator
flashes red or glows steady red, turn the Trim control counterclockwise to decrease the level.
Use the input level meters (page 28) in the Prefs menu to check your input levels
D.
CAUTION: If you are using a device that requires phantom power (+48V), such as a condenser
microphone, depress the Phantom power switch before adjusting the Trim control.
Note: The input level meter in the Prefs menu can be helpful when adjusting the input Trim level (see
page 28).

Slowly turn the channel volume control clockwise until the volume reaches the desired level.
