Hi Steve,
(1) Thanks for the quick advice and yes, I did get the DD-1 very soon after my order.
(2) I am quite sure I went thru' the manual but it may be due to my poor understanding as this is the first time I am trying to do gain matching outside my installers' shops, hence the idea of getting the DD-1.
I do understand your instructions and comments but the question remains that even at full range with cross over bypassed, the frequency of 1k Hz used somehow does NOT seems complete as I mentioned that:
a) Physic class taught me that impedence which I believe will affect gain matching DOES depends of frequency used .
Gain at 1k was set with no clipping as well as with tones below that from 300, 400, 500kHz etc. from my own CD did not indicate but it did show some clipping at 1.25kHz or something like that which raised my concern if it would not clip at other frequencies although it did not at 1kHz.
3) Also, I do not understand why the manual reference to track# 6 of -15db@ on setting for full range amp for louder system since there is very high chance of clipping if we all agree that typical CD is at -5db and how then we know that it is really clipping the amp.
Thanks again amd looking forware to your continued help.
Richard
6. Play track 4 or 6 on test CD (Track 4 will ensure maximum sound quality, Track 6 will result in a louder system). Your choice.
