inputlevel
Input level is the amplitude of the signal at the point where it enters a device or system. In audio systems, it is controlled via a preamplifier gain stage (often labeled trim or gain) and sometimes by an input pad that reduces level. Properly setting the input level helps maximize dynamic range, minimize noise, and avoid distortion.
In analog contexts, levels are described in electrical terms such as volts or decibels relative to a
The input stage presents an impedance, and the interaction between source impedance and input impedance affects
Common practice aims to set the input level high enough to overcome the noise floor while leaving
In software and digital audio workstations, inputlevel refers to the instantaneous amplitude of the captured signal,
