SAMPLE MODE
F2 ATTN/GAIN
1: The attenuatfon/gain function
■ This is used to control input signal level so that it is
suitable for sampling.
■ You set the ieveis for two parameters: gain and at“
tenuation.
"Gam'* is the amount of amplification applied to the
signal. You can set it from OdB {no amplification) to
40dB of gain, in steps of 10dB,
“Attenuation’* is the amount that the signal is reduc
ed. You can attenuate the signal in steps of 2dB, over
a range of OdB (no attenuation) to -10d B.
The gain setting combines with the attenuation set
ting to give you overall control over signal level in 2dB
steps over a range of -1 0 d B to 40dB.
The procedure is therefore to adjust the gain first,
since it provides rough adjustment in 10dB steps.
Then “fine tune*' your setting by adjusting the at
tenuation, since this is adjustable in 2dB steps,
■ When using this function, you can see the actual in
put signal level on the peak hold bar graph meter
display.
If the input signal level exceeds the suitable level and
causes clipping, the display shows the clipped por
tion by a dark block.
■ Furthermore, the audio signal is sent to the D SS-1!s
outputs, so you can monitor it by ear as well.
