* The analogue to analogue dynamic range is achieved because the system can accept analogue signals of up to +28 dBu from input
to output at 0 dB gain. Obviously, an analogue input of up to +28 dBu must be attenuated to output this digitally, but this attenuation
will maintain the Dynamic Range of the input, as the analogue input noise will be attenuated by the same amount as the signal, and
the analogue input noise will still be dominant above the noise floor of the digital system.
