IMPORTANT TIP!
Setting the gain trim adjustment (below) to values greater than 0 dB will serve to reduce
input headroom by a corresponding amount.
The analog inputs clip point remains at +22 dBu(or +8, see above) so this level must not be
exceeded. The rare source device with a clip point in excess of +22 dBu may require an
external pad.
