Adjusting the Sound Volume on
DCC Solution Custom Sound Projects

The sounds in our Custom Sound Projects are set at relatively realistic operating levels for the scaled model it is intended to represent.
These volumes have been tested to provide the best overall sound when the model is stationary and running.
As we develop and test these sound volumes we are fully aware that not everyone will run their models in the same environment as our testing facilities.

So, because of this we have set the sound volumes as a starting point and these are not maximum levels.
With all of our Custom Sound Projects we have allowed the end user plenty of room to increase or decrease the volume to suit their own individual needs. So if you receive your model and it is not loud enough, don't worry as there is a way of making it LOUD! 

You can change individual sound slot volumes or a much easier way is to permanently set the master volume that best suits your operating environment (E.g. Home, Club, Expo) using CV63 - Range (0-192). 
The Installation Information Sheet provided with your installation will have the programmed default value for your sound project.
