ADJUSTMENT

Audio distribution is factory set to 0dB input / 0dB output. For adjust is used 1m cable.

To adjust the distribution in the system, it is necessary to have:

- Signal generator (a signal which is brought to the input of the distribution)

- Adequate measuring equipment (output signal of the distribution)

- A small flathead screwdriver (for adjusting)
