Input Atten
Set the front attenuator of the RF input in order to ensure big signals (or small
signals) to pass through the mixer with low distortion (or low noise).
Key Points:
 When the preamplifier is turned on, the input attenuation could be set up to
30 dB. You can adjust the reference level to ensure that the specified
parameter meets the inequality (2-3).
 You can modify this parameter using the numeric keys, knob or direction keys.
