level.

NORMALIZING AUDIO SOURCE VOLUME LEVELS
Use the Media Connector as the master audio volume control for the classroom. When
two or more audio sources are connected, you will need to normalize volume settings
by setting all connected audio sources to the same sound level while leaving the Media
Connector AUDIO IN volume control set to its center setting. The Media Connector is an
audio mixer using a master volume control to adjust the volume of all audio sources at
once. Use the following procedure to set audio source volumes:
1. Connect the multimedia audio sources to the Media Connector using the 3.5mm
cables provided.
2. Set the AUDIO IN volume control on the Media Connector to its center position.
3. Turn on an audio source that does not have an accessible audio level control. (DVD,
VCR player)
4. Adjust the Media Connector AUDIO IN volume control so the audio level playing
through the speaker is appropriate for the classroom.
5. Turn o the first audio source.
6. Turn on the second audio source. Use its volume control to balance the audio output
to the same audio level played through the speaker as the first source.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the remaining audio sources.
8. Now, the Media Connector’s AUDIO IN volume can be used to increase or decrease
the volume level for all audio sources as desired.
