Understanding gain structure

It is important to understand the basics of gain structure and how it relates specifically to the CAB. In most cases, the CAB is shipped from the factory with unity gain through the unit. In other words, if you introduce a 1.23VAC 1 kHz sine wave into the input channel of a CAB without adjusting any controls, you will get the same 1.23VAC sine wave on an output channel (when the signal paths are directly connected and without audio processing).

However, we recommend that unity gain settings are checked before testing the unit. The CAB is primarily intended for larger MediaMatrix systems, where a different gain structure set up may be required.

Adjusting the gain structure for the CAB is possible both at the analog and digital gain stages. All controls for adjusting the input and output gain stages can be found on the control surface of each CAB device in NWare. For more information, see Adjusting the gain structure in the NWare User Guide.
