Output Settings
For many applications, setting the output GAIN control at 0 dB (12:00 o’clock) works fi ne. If you
are adding a bunch of EQ (which tends to cause an overall level increase), then you may need to
decrease the GAIN setting. On the other hand, if you are using a fair amount of com pres sion, you
may need to add some gain to compensate for the level lost in compression. Pick a setting that gives
you enough signal downstream, yet still keeps the CLIP LED from illuminating. The output display
is peak re spond ing, so you can’t quite set levels as if it were a VU meter.
The output CLIP LED monitors both the equalizer and the output stage. Large amounts of boost and/
or high signal levels can cause CLIP in di ca tions. If this occurs, lower the signal level via the GAIN
control. It is also possible for the output stage to clip if a processor, inserted via the output stage
access jacks, is con trib ut ing gain to the overall signal path. In this case, either lower the gain of the
insert processor or reduce the setting of the GAIN control.
