OVERVIEW
Input/Output Description
Master Level
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
ControlSwitches”above).Youcanalsousethiscontroltomakevolume
adjustments while recording, or perform fade-in and fade-out effects.
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
attenuatedoramplified.Youcanthinkofthisasthe“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.
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
alsoleadtodistortion—seethe“GainControlSwitches”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.
