Volume Adjustment
Not an engineer. Wonder if there is a simple answer to why volume setting 53 on my MA-252 seems so much louder than 52? Speakers are Sf Olympics llls.
It’s certainly not 1 decibel ? Is it logarithmic or something I won’t understand ?
Are there amps that have just 1 decibel increases?
When I listen at setting 52 and want the sound just a little bit louder, setting 53 seems too loud ?
Answers and thoughts appreciated. Thank you.
I would avoid using DeOxit for the time being if I were him. If there is a hash-like sound or a crackling sound when you turn the volume up or down, it usually means the attenuator/knobs need to be cleaned, as they are making contact but struggling to do so consistently. In that case, DeOxit is the first thing you use.

Maybe accurate
The McIntosh MA252 utilizes a digitally-governed volume control that operates in precise 0.5 dB steps. The rotary volume encoder controls an internal precision resistor ladder, which ensures outstanding channel tracking and balance throughout its attenuation range. [1, 2] For troubleshooting volume imbalances, you can make an even finer 0.5 dB step channel trim adjustment for left or right via the input trim settings. The bass and treble tone controls also utilize 1 dB steps for a maximum boost or cut of ± 10 dB. [1, 2] If you are experiencing any channel imbalances, you can adjust the trim level or check if the source cables are seated properly: |
