9. proper gain structure is to minimize noise on one extreme and to pre vent clipping on the other Proper gain structure will result in all components clipping at about the same time First lets clear up one common misconception The input control on an amplifier or powered speaker does not deter mine how much power it will produce A 100 watt amplifier for example can produce 100 watts no matter where the input level control is set The input level control simply determines how much input voltage is required to drive the amp to full output If the input level controls of an EON10 G2 are set too low rotated too far counter clockwise the mixer will go into clipping before the speakers are driven to full output If the input level controls of an EON10 G2 are set too high rotated too far clockwise the system will be noisy With that in mind here s a procedure for setting up system gain structure that will get the best dynamic performance possible from your system Summary e Adjust your mixer so that the loudest passages of your performance drive the mixer almost to its peak output e Set the MIC LINE switch to the LINE position unless a microphone is connected directly to the EON input Slowly bring up the INPUT 1 level control of the EON10 G2 until the desired performance volume is reached When used with a typical DJ or audio mixer this will probably place the control around 10 00 o clock Step by step instructions 1 Begin with all leve
