ADJUSTING
THE
AMPLIFIER
RCA
INPUTS
The
RCA
inputs
will
accept
line
level
signals
from
the
preamp
output
of
most
aftermarket
head
units
or
from
ORION
accessories
such
as
the
300
PSW.
Run
the
signal
wires
from
the
source
unit
to
the
amplifier
and
plug
them
in.
GAIN
ADJUSTMENT
____
The
GAIN
control
adjusts
the
gain
level
of
the
amplifier.
This
is
used
to
match
the
signal
level
of
various
head
units
to
the
amplifier.
To
adjust
the
gain
of
your
amplifier
follow
these
steps:
1)
Adjust
the
input
gain
controls
of
the
amplifier
to
just
above
the
minimum
level
(fully
counterclockwise).
2)
Use
a
clean
source
(CD)
with
dynamic
music
content
and
adjust
the
head
unit
volume
to
just
below
the
distortion
point
(usually
about
3/4
of
full
volume).
3)
Increase
the
amplifier's
gain
(clockwise)
until
you
hear
audible
distortion.
At
this
time,
decrease
the
gain
to
just
before
the
amount
of
distortion.
This
setting
will
minimize
background
noise
and
prevents
overload.
