What I want to know is what is behind the master gain control on the 442. I can’t read wiring diagrams well enough to understand whether it attenuates the existing signal down 6db from its max when set at 0db or does it engage a separate powered gain block to kick up the level?
Is it better to use it if levels are showing up low on a downstream input or is it better to run the gain/faders close to full out. I recently worked with a JVC-250 that seemed to need much hotter levels than I am used to.
Any thoughts??
Thanks,
