Fine tune the amplifier's input sensitivity.

By rotating the control in the clockwise direction, the amplifier's input will become more
sensitive and the music will play louder. This is not a volume control and you will not get
more power out of the amplifier in the maximum position! It may seem to deliver more
output, but actually the system is only playing louder faster as you turn the volume
control on the radio. Ideally, to properly level match the system the goal is to achieve
maximum output from the amplifier without distortion at about 3/4 of the volume control.
To determine if the amplifier's gain is set properly, turn the system on and slowly
increase the volume control. You should be able to use about 3/4 volume before the
system gets loud but not distorting. It is very important when making these adjustments
that you do not over drive the speakers (at point of distortion) this will cause permanent
damage to the speakers. If you are unable to achieve 3/4 volume before distortion you
will need to adjust gain control (in this case you would reduce the gain). The gain
controls should be adjusted very slowly. It may help to have another person to assist
you by adjusting the gain controls while you listen for distortion.

The input gain sensitivity control for the "NXS" amplifier is
located on the front panel for all amplifiers except the NX200.2
which is located on the left side panel. This gain control has
been included to allow adjustment to properly match the output
of the radio. This is one of the most misunderstood adjustments.
