Optimizing the Analog Audio
Troubleshooting
The level for each analog audio input can be adjusted within a range of -18 dB to +24 dB,
so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources and for the best headroom
and signal-to-noise ratio. The volume for each analog audio output can be adjusted from full
loudness to effectively muted. Adjust the levels as follows:
1. Connect analog audio sources to all desired inputs and connect the analog audio
outputs to output devices such as audio players (see Input and Output Boards on
page 12). For best results, wire all of the inputs and the outputs balanced.
2. Power on the audio sources, the switcher, and the audio players.
3. Switch among the inputs (see Creating a Configuration on page 32), listening to the
audio with a critical ear or measuring the output audio level with test equipment, such
as a VU meter.
4. As necessary, adjust the input audio level of each input (see Viewing and Adjusting
the Input Audio Level on page 45) so that the approximate output level is the same
for all selected inputs.
5. Tie an audio input to each analog audio output.
6. As necessary, adjust the output audio level of each output (see Viewing and
Adjusting the Analog Output Volume on page 51).
This section recommends what to do if you have problems operating the switcher.
1. Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on.
2. Check to see if one or more outputs are muted.
3. Ensure an active input is selected for output on the switcher.
4. Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied.
5. Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.
6. Call the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support Hotline if necessary. See the end of
this guide for the phone number in your region of the world.
