In that range, each increment of 1 represents something like 0.5 to 1 dB increase in output, which is quite small. The gain setting will also depend on your amplifier gain and the efficiency of your speakers.

Hi Jake,
I'm running ARC 250SEs to a pair of Stages (4 Ohm - can be run on a 50watter amp) , hardly taxing setup. I haven't tried using the remote yet - thanks for the tip.

I do remember before I sent it away for repair the that 40 on the dial was already hitting 80 dB on my sound meter app.
