Author Topic: USL MDS 1400 Antonio Marcheselli Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1260 From: Florence, Italy Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-25-2003 04:52 PM                        Hi everyone I've read that MDS 1400 has an automatic gain adjustment to adjust the volume of the different material. Can I disable it? I don't like how it works..

Antonio, you can't disable it, that I'm aware. You can use the standard input module though.

Both are on the same quality level. An added feature about the Smart is that you can install up to 2 10 watt 70 volt(or 8 ohm) power amplifiers inside the unit. It makes a very compact music system for a small to medium size theatre. The USL requires an external amp. I highly reccommend the auto gain feature as the level variance on CD's is all over the place. Mark @ CLACO  |  IP: Logged
