Interested in the Genelec 8361A. My sources are analog and some digital players. If I use my own analog preamp it is simple, no discussion needed on that point.
For digital inputs I am not sure what to do. From the 8361A operations manual, Page 2, Audio Inputs section:
"When the digital audio source can adjust level, it is
advantageous to lower the output level of the 8361A using the
rear panel controls or the GLM Master Fader. This enables a
higher output level at the source with more resolution while
taking full advantage of the impressively low self-generated
noise of the 8361A."
I would prefer to use my digital player (at or near) full volume, as I am under the impression that it will have the most resolution that way.
I am thinking to use this wireless remote with GLM to control the Genelecs:
Has anyone used this in practice and have any objections or comments?
I am a little bit stuck on the wording "when the digital source can adjust level" because it almost sounds like a recommendation. I am guessing that the 8361A volume control itself is not "digital" in the sense that changing the volume via GLM, or the back panel, would change the digital resolution any way, rather it is to adjust gain to the final amplifier stage. Does this sound correct, would I need to ask Genelec to verify?
Thank you.
