and speakers. The gain control toggles between two settings, offset from one another by 10 dB. The high gain selects +10 dB and the low selects 0 dB as the maximum volume (step 64) setting. We suggest that you let your ears determine which setting conveys the most sonic benefit in your system. Hi gain may be appropriate for sources that output less than 2 volts rms single ended and 4 volts rms balanced. When hi gain is selected the vacuum fluorescent front panel display will indicate
