4.7. Ref Level
Set the reference level, indicates at the top scale as amplitude power or voltage. When change the
reference level, the topmost scale of absolute amplitude level changes accordingly shown at the
upper left of the display grid.
Key points:
Maximum reference level is affected by combination of maximum mixing level, input attenuation
and preamplifier. When adjust it, the input attenuation is adjusted under a constant max mixing
level, meeting:
L
Ref
, a
RF
, a
PA
and L
mix
denote reference level, input attenuation,
preamplifier and maximum mixing level.
You can modify this parameter by numeric keys, knob and arrow keys. For more details, please
refer to “Paramter Input”.
Table 2-6 Reference Level
4.8. Input Atten
Set the front attenuation of the RF input in order to permit big signals (or small signals) to pass from
the mixer with low distortion (or low noise).
Key points:
When preamplify is on, up limit for input attenuation can set to be 30dB. You can adjust
reference level to ensure above formula 2-3.
You can modify this parameter by numeric keys, knob and arrow keys. For more details, please
refer to “Parameter Input”.
