In the Devialet Configurator, I've noticed some inputs have this Vrms setting. can someone explain, in layman terms, how this works and what my real world results would be if i made changes to this setting? I'm assuming this would raise or lower the volume (gain) to my speakers at a given level (like a boost so to speak).
does the rms setting need tomatch the Speakers or the input device? curious if you guys use this setting and your outcome.
Maximum input RMS level: the amplifier gain is adjusted to make it match the maximum RMS voltage at the speaker output (Factory Setting: 2 VRMS)
An excessive value requires to push the volume control higher and needlessly prepares the amplifier to high power demands, with slightly increased energy consumption and heat dissipation: this is especially the case if you connect the earphone output of a portable player (whose output voltage is limited to protect your ears) without choosing the corresponding low value preset; a too low value leads to clipping of the most dynamic records.
