23 b. Setting the measurement volume level The measurement volum e – also called t he calibration volum e – is a recomm ended maximum volume. It is important tha t you alwa ys judge whether the measurement volume is too loud. The calibrat ion volume should not be so lo ud that it causes:- 1. uncomfortably loud sounds that are inconvenient to yo[...]

24 The test signal will st art and shortly thereaf ter the TDA 2200 w ill suggest an i nitial esti mate of the desired maximu m calibration volume (in dB). Please raise or lower the volume towards t he desired m aximum v olume shown on the display but ensure you avoid clip ping, uncomfortably l oud levels and damage t o the loudspeakers. Continue c[...]
