Note: An overdriven AD converter generates distortion that the FIRNET’s
limiter cannot suppress. If the red LED lights up, set the FIRNET’s
input gain to a higher value (see the section Setting Peak AD Level in
the Adjusting Parameters chapter) or reduce the source audio device’s
output level! Be sure to heed the gain level recommendations for
connected amps, particularly when operating an FP10000Q power amp.
