In keeping with Audison tradition, during the design phase, particular attention was paid to volume management, a fundamental aspect for the search for the highest audio quality. Most Bluetooth devices apply the volume controls to the audio stream, but this compromises the potential dynamic range significantly - often below the expected performance from digital audio!
The function Absolute Volume allows to manage through mobile device the Master Volume of the connected DSP, keeping the digital signal at the maximum dynamic range. This avoids the loss of resolution which is typical when using the volume buttons of the mobile device.
To enable the function it is sufficient to:
- connect the ADC port of the B-CON with the ADC port of the amplifier or processor in use (port available in the line of AF bit amplifiers and in the processor bit One HD Virtuoso).
- put the switch in position ON as per picture.
IMPORTANT: Once it is enabled, the user will be able to manage independently the volumes from the same mobile device for either Master Source e per Optical Source!
IMPORTANT: when B-CON is in Absolute Volume mode, the volume is controlled by the phone, with its own resolution. If you have a remote controller like DRC-MP CAN or DRC AC, it can only adapt to that resolution, therefore when the user selects a non-representable level in either DRC AC or DRC MP CAN, it will be adjusted to the nearest level available from the phone.
Note: the Absolute Volume function is available only in Streaming mode. It cannot be used for Passthrough mode.
