Installing the Remote Level Controller

The D400.1, D600.1, & D1000.1 come packaged with a remote level control. This allows you to

control the level by attenuating the amplitude or increasing (up to the maximum set-point) of

the amplier’s input gain control. This control does not add additional gain, it simply allows

you to control the level to suit your tastes.

1) Locate a position in the front of the vehicle where this will be easy to reach. Common

locations are on, in, or under the dash, in the center console, or in the glove box.

2) To mount the unit, attach the bracket using the supplied hardware to your chosen loca-

tion.

3) Route the telephone style data cable back to the amplier location and connect into the

remote level port. Test to make sure the operation is functioning.

Get Ready to Listen!

Perform a nal check of the completed system wiring to ensure that all connections are

accurate. Check all power and ground connections for frayed wires and loose connections

which could cause problems. Install in-line fuse near battery connection at this time. Prepare

to make some adjustments to ne tune your audio system for optimum performance.

Adjustment of Input Gain

To adjust the gain setting, turn the amplier gains all the way down (counterclockwise).

Turn the source unit volume up until distortion is audible and then turn it down a bit until

the distortion is inaudible. This will be NEARLY full volume on most source units, perhaps

one or two “clicks” down from maximum volume. Next, increase the amplier gain setting

until adequate volume is achieved.

NOTE: Ideal signal to noise and dynamic range are achieved with the gain at minimum. Most

users nd adequate gain and volume is achieved at about halfway in the adjustment range.

Avoid setting the amplier gain very high as noise and distortion will increase signicantly.
