I've seen in the past a website that has details of how to setup your amplifier etc to get the best sound out of the empeg but I don't seem to be able to find the link now.

Has anyone got it?

Hmm, I think I found what I was looking for in the original empeg user guide:

Quote:
When setting up the amplifier the gain should be turned to minimum (least sensitive) and then, with the empeg car set to maximum output (0dB attenuation), turned up until your maximum listening level is reached. Too high a sensitivity setting will cause both distortion at high volumes and interference at low levels.

Yeah, that's also described in the FAQ in the installation section. It gives slightly more detailed steps.

It sounds more complicated than it really is. All you're doing is turning the amplifier gains down to the point where you're decreasing the noise floor as much as possible, yet still getting enough gain out of the player's outputs to satisfy your ears.

Another way to look at it is that you're maximizing the useful range of the player's volume knob. If you don't do these steps, then you will either have too much gain (noise during quiet music yet can't turn the volume up very high because it's too loud when you do that), or too little gain (can't turn it up loud enough).

You're probably thinking of the Empeg sound page by Brad B.

That's the one. Thanks.
