To begin, you’ll need to download the KICKER test tones: The engineers at KICKER have taken the guesswork, and hassle, out of matching the output voltage of your source unit to the amplifier with the Gain Matching feature. In any audio system, the goal is to reach maximum input and output levels without distortion or clipping. If the GAIN knob’s backlight comes on, the input is still clipping. Next, slowly turn (clockwise) the gain on the amplifier up until you see the Gain LED light up or hear audible distortion, then turn it down a little. KICKER recommends using these test tones to reach the most accurate and best performing settings. For a quick setup, turn the source unit up to about 3/4 volume (if the source unit goes to 30, turn it to 25). It matches the output of the source unit to the input level of the amplifier and features Gain Matching to prevent clipping the input. Input Gain Control with Gain Matching: The input gain control is not a volume control. KEY200.4 / KEY180.4 Smart Amplifier Test Tones IE -5db gain setting track needs to use -5db Key sweep tone. Once you have chosen the correct Gain track for you gain setting please make sure you use the matching Sweep track to ensure correct KEY operation. With this set up you can get some clipping from the amplifier. -10dBFS: Designed only for Subwoofer applications, there will be less dynamic range but higher potential audio output levels.With this set up you can get some occasional clipping from the amplifier. -5dBFS: Designed for normal/daily applications, there will be less dynamic range but higher potential audio output levels.0dBFS: Designed for audiophile applications to give you distortion free audio output with the most dynamic range.The different recording levels are designed to give you the perfect gain match for your application. These test tones are sine waves meant to provide a consistent signal for the KEY500.1 amplifier to reference.
