How high is your gain?

[Decado2 10+ year member]

What do you have, like 5000 wat rms amps? How are you getting ANY output?

Neither of my amps gains are on.

You got it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Symmetry to be more exact. within .01 with the dmm though.

Very good! I have the 28 band eq installed and honestly it is just above me trying to get all of the settings right. You can adjust the freq. on each channel in real time do all the cutoffs right on the screen from up front as well. One of the better units made IMO.

Does a perfect job at keeping the substage amp and the comp amp matched too since they are coming off the same source.

little over a half but not much. and barely any h.u. setting's set mostly all 0.

I would love to hear it, but I am 8 hours away

ditto on the hu settings

Any questioning of, or explanation of gain position based on dial position (half way. quarter of the way, etc) indicates a lack of knowledge of the proper way to adjust gains.

For example, is setting the gain in the middle (half way) the same setting on every amplifier? No.

For another example, does pages of people listing their gain position tell us ANYTHING useful? No. We dont know signal strength. We dont know userd defined maximum volume setting on the h/u. And even if we did know.... who cares? There is a proper gain position for your amplifier, given the signal strength etc. In some circumstances the proper gain position might be at 1/4 on the gain knob, or 3/4. So people listing off gain positions is pretty useless info that people could easily misinterpret as useful. Posts like this get people thinking that relative gain knob position (1/4, 1/2, etc) IS the proper way to adjust amplifier gains. This, in essence, turns them into nothing more than volume knobs for noobs. Frankly, Im disappointed its taken till page 3 for anyone to mention this.

There is no such thing as having your gain turned off. Line driver or not.

Perhaps I should have said all the way down?

Also, that is what i was getting at when I said within .01 with the DMM.

all references based on knob position only! mine is turned 1/3'd of it's total arc:Fyi:

Honestly, is 99% of anything on this forum useful? LOL.

Yep.

My bad, I take back everything I said. Now knowing that you have your gain set to 1/3 has just given me the final piece of information I needed to set my stereo's gains perfectly. Thanks so much!

Not only is it not useful, its potentially telling noobs that this is the right way to adjust gains. I see no other purpose for such a thread.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif my gain is set w/ hu at 58/63 @ ~21v with a 35hz 0db tone

better? Or am I still missing something
