i have a 4v headuint and a mbquartRAA1000 and all the adjustment knobs are as i expected, with the lowest number being on the bottom left hand side and the higher one on the bottom right side, except for the gain, it is in a switch positioin where 8v is on the bottom left and .15 volts is on the bottom right, i basically have it set to the exactly middle, is this right or should it be less or more |

You don't know that unless you put an oscilloscope on it.
" i figure if 8 is the highest it goes, right in the middle should be about 4 to match my hu "
Doesn't work that way, ya have to do it the right way:
Use this to calculate what voltage you amp should output:

If you want, use this tutorial it explains it better:

Marcus,from now on learn how to do something before you do it.I'm not trying to be an azzhole but I also don't want you to blow up your equipment.Next time you're not sure how to hook something up just come on here,post about it and wait a little while for a response,that way you won't damage anything. |
