Re: test disc???? (corvette184)
The way you have been doing it is ok. There are several discs available to use to set gains but you also need a multimeter. I can find the exact directions if you would like but what it really does is help get the most out of everything you have without clipping or causing distortion.

Re: test disc???? (Kale)
That is how I have always done it 184. Only a few times I have I used a multimeter.
Kale, could you please explain how you would set gains using stepped down test tones and either a db meter or your ears?
