What is input sensitivity? What does it mean? And how do you use that information? A system, a loudspeaker, for instance, or an amplifier that has high sensitivity, high input sensitivity means that it doesn't take a lot of input signal to get to maximum output signal. If it has low input sensitivity, it takes more input signal for it to achieve maximum output.

And in effect, the way you are adjusting that in the application of using the BASSBOSS speakers or most any other speakers or amplifiers is with the quote unquote gain knob that is on the backs of our cabinets on the front or backs of amplifiers. That really is mostly an input sensitivity control rather than a gain control. But if you think of it this way, when you turn that knob up or down, let's say for instance, you turn it down, when you turn it down, you're decreasing the input sensitivity.

What that means is that you're not limiting how loud that speaker will go, you're just requiring more input signal for it to get to maximum output. Turning that knob down will not restrict that speaker from getting to its maximum output. It isn't a limiter. What it will do is it will require more signal to come from the device in front of it, from the mixer or whatever it is that's driving it.

And that's an example of how you set up your system so that you're balancing inputs and outputs. It's setting up the gain structure when you know where your maximum is on your mixer, and then you adjust the input sensitivity on the box, you will then match where they reach their maximum capacity together. That is matching the gain structure.

The process by which you're doing that is adjusting the input sensitivity so that when you bring the output up on your mixer, they come up at the relative level that you want. Whether it's like that, like that or like that, they'll move together. That's the nature of how you're using that input sensitivity. Just to clarify for those who think that this is the case, remember that input sensitivity, even if you turn it down to where it's, you know, one or two clicks up, if you have a mixer that will put out enough signal that will allow that box to get to its absolute maximum output with that input sensitivity trim all the way down, it will still go there, it will still reach its maximum output. It's not limiting how loud it will go. It's simply requiring more input signal for it to get to its maximum output.
