How loud should the volume be on my computer or portable source?
A. If you are using the BitHead with a computer via USB, you will want to turn the volume on your computer all the way up to near maximum. Bear in mind there is usually more than one way to adjust the volume, such as one on the physical computer itself and perhaps one within your media player too. If using the BitHead with a portable audio source, ideally you should use a line-out whenever possible. SendStation and CablePRO make adapters for iPods that allow you to send a line-out signal to the amp. Otherwise, you’ll want to turn the volume NEARLY all the way up or one step down from all the way up, depending on the player’s clipping threshold, if any. Use your best hearing judgement to determine the best settings combinations for your gear.
