What role do input gain settings play in the S6000?

Input gain settings are crucial in the S6000 as they control the level of incoming audio. Properly setting the input gain ensures that the audio signal is strong enough to be processed effectively without introducing noise or distortion. This is essential for achieving optimal performance from the system, as the initial level of the audio signal can influence all subsequent processing and effects applied.

If the input gain is set too low, the signal may be buried in noise or provide insufficient energy for effective processing. Conversely, if it's set too high, the signal may clip and cause unwanted distortion. Therefore, precise management of the input gain allows users to maintain clarity and integrity in their audio while ensuring that the entire signal path is functionally sound.
