Receiver Gain Adjustment
The gain control sets the overall signal level for the system. The default gain level is 12 dB and the available gain
range is -18 to 42 dB, in 1 dB increments.
Set the gain to a level where the audio LED appears green or yellow, with only the highest audio peaks causing
the LED to occasionally turn red and engage the limiter. Reduce the gain if there is audible distortion of the audio.
From the receiver home screen, use the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the gain:
• A single button press adjusts the gain in 1 dB increments
• Press and hold the button for larger adjustments
Test the transmitter at performance levels when adjusting the gain. Monitor the
audio meter and the audio LED
to prevent overloads.
