DESCRIPTION:
Sound Gain Structure setup For your Home recording Studio or Live events sound distribution with no distortion . Dastoo follow this 5 step method and you will achieve proper gain structure with your sound setup.Setup proper sound gain structure in five simple steps for Live Events sound reinforcement or home recording studio to produce better music . The main purpose of setting up proper gain structure is to keep the noise level down so there is no distortion & clipping in the final mix for recording or Live sound .Every electrical equipment inherent noise floor.As a rule of thumb, the noise floor of the electronics should be at least 40 dB below the electrical level generated by the quietest sounds (or lower, if we can manage it).
This noise is caused by random molecular motion due to heat, so-called Johnson noise in semiconductor junctions, and other arcane scientific.
STEP l
To set the GAIN, first turn it down
all the way. On most consoles, this
means full counterclockwise rotation.
Make sure that any PAD or ATTENUATOR
switch is NOT engaged. (In this
formal approach, setting the PAD
comes last.)

STEP 2
Set the channel's slide fader almost
all the way to the top of its travel.
Some consoles have a heavier line,
arrow or some other mark on the slider
scale that can be used as a normal or
nominal setting for this procedure.

STEP 3
Set the master fader to this same
almost to the top position, or to the
manufacturer's mark.

STEP 4
Now, turn up the GAIN as high as
necessary until the VU meters indicate
the desired level (typically peaking
around zero, or two-thirds of full scale).
This formal procedure ensures that you
have, in fact, taken as much power
from the microphone as possible before
using amplification from another part
of the console.

Step 5 , turn the input gain on the amp till the
signal leds lights turn green but make sure it does not clips.

Extra Step if signal is too hot.

If pad is engaged all the time then it means more amplification
which results into more noise which we don't want so pad should be used last if the signal is too hot.It discards signal coming in on the mic cable before it enters the
preamplifier.
