[QUOTE="So Low iT Hz, post: 8210363, member: 658541"] One gain per stereo input. And you NEVER want the gain at 100%. You need to be able to set your gains to less than 1% THD to maximize sound and volume. Don't worry about power levels. Each amplifier will only make so much power with a given supply, so you just want to make sure that no matter what amplifier you choose you set it up properly. O scopes or something like the DD-1 comes in very handy for that. You can do it with a DMM measuring the voltage rails but you can't tell if you've reached maximum voltage with wicked ugly peak shapes. [/QUOTE]
