[Empeg-general] Re: Empeg Optimal Volume

Actually, no - 0dB is the ideal setting. The attenuation is digital within the DSP, so you loose resolution the quieter the player is.

With a full-scale sinewave, anything above 0dB will clip - again, the gain is done digitally and you run out of bits!

The recommended setup (set 0dB on empeg, wind up amp gains to the point where it is the loudest you'll ever want it) as documented in the manual will give the best audio output quality, in terms of resolution and noise in the empeg-<amp path.
