About on level keyboard key -10db/+4db

Hi, I am beginning here in the Home Theater Shack, and for what I read until the moment I liked this space very, I wait to very learn and if possible to collaborate in what it will be possible.

I have a doubt with regard to the use of the keyboard keys of level of operation of BFD 1124, the fact of if using in -10db or +4db intervene only with the level measurer (leds of the panel) or influence in the internal processing of the signal?

Which the best form to use?

For retail equipment we normally use the -10dBv setting and for Pro equipment we use the 4dBu setting.

Can you explain your question further and maybe we can help....

Brucek,

The question is if this adjustment (- 10/+4) intervenes with the signal or it only modifies the scale of the display of level in the panel frontal.

I believe it intervenes to adapt the BFD electronics to the input level.

A PRO level can have a maximum ~+16dBu (about +5volts), where a consumer level will have a maximum of ~+2dBV (about 1.25volts). The switch ensures the electronics is padded accordingly.
