Overview Table of Contents sections 1 2 3 4 5 6 Input/Output Description The master level control provides finer control of the audio signal volume before it's recorded by the iPod. The master level control can reduce or amplify the audio signal after pre-gain is applied (see "Gain Control Switches" above). You can also use this control to make volume adjustments while recording, or perform fade-in and fade-out effects. D Master Level Note that there is a 0 toward the right side of the master level control. When the master level knob points to the 0, then the signal is not being attenuated or amplified. You can think of this as the "neutral" position that you can use when setting up a recording. When the master level knob is turned completely counterclockwise, the audio is muted. Turning the master level knob completely clockwise results in +6 dB of amplification. D E E Limiter The limiter feature can be used to make sure the audio signal that is sent to the iPod is always within the signal range that the iPod can accurately capture. If the signal that's sent to the iPod is too loud, the recording may be distorted (note that applying too much pre-gain can also lead to distortion-see the "Gain Control Switches" description above). When the limiter is activated, the limiter looks at the audio signal and automatically reduces the audio signal level if it gets too loud. Generally you'll barely notice a change in the audio, but that's how it's meant to work. The limiter keeps very loud signals in check without impacting other signals that aren't too loud. GoStudio 12
