The C 306 has three (3) XLR and RCA analog inputs per channel. The RS 232 port control can be controlled with a home automation system. The infra red and RS 232 remote control codes are discrete for ease of system integration and full system control. The signal to noise ratio and the overall distortion in the C 306 are so low as to be inaudible.
The input selection and volume are remotely controlled. The volume control in the C 306 is made from precision resistors so that the tolerances are extremely close, channel to channel. The front panel display shows the volume setting and the input chosen for playback. When the display panel volume setting is higher than 50 in the output level readout the volume increases in increments of 0.1 dB. Below the readout volume setting of 50 the volume changes in 1.0 dB steps. This sort of volume control precision is like the 'laser trimmed resistor ladders' in multi bit digital to analog converters. The back panel includes a remote turn on trigger for the A 306 Power Amplifier. |
