The Nº383’s menu system allows you to customize the way the inte-
grated amplifier operates, to better suit the needs of your system and
your personal preferences. We will review the following information in
more detail in the coming pages, on an item-by-item basis. (Don’t
worry, it isn’t really as complicated as it seems when you take it one step at
a time.)
configuring line
level inputs
Each line-level input may be customized in four ways:
•
Name— the name of the input shown in the front panel’s
display when the input is selected; this may be one of a list
of predetermined names, or a custom name created by
you.
•
Gain— the amount of gain available for that particular
input, 0 dB (attenuation only), +6 dB, +12 dB, or +18 dB;
used to optimize the match between the output level of
any given source and the preamplifier’s gain structure.
•
Offset— automatic volume adjustments implemented
whenever switching to this particular input, used to ensure
that all sources play back at the same volume, even when
their outputs may be quite different; the range is ± 20.0 dB
in 0.1 dB increments.
• Record Output— used to assign a record output to this
particular input; options are On and Off.
To facilitate operation in complex multisource systems, the Nº383 is
capable of displaying a wide variety of names for each of its five inputs.
The available names are listed below.
