Overview
The Pre-gain feature allows precise control over the input levels of individual sources before they reach the main volume control. By adjusting the pre-gain for each source, you can ensure balanced volume levels across all inputs, minimizing noticeable differences when switching between them. This results in a more consistent and enjoyable listening experience, whether using analog or digital sources.
Note: Be cautious when increasing the pre-gain level. If the gain is set too high, it may cause the sound to clip or distort, negatively affecting audio quality.
