Recommended receive audio input level:
The DRA-36M accepts the widest range of audio compared to any other similar radio adapter. The input signal is attenuated by a potentiometer, giving the broadest range of acceptable levels. As little as 20 mV P-P, and as much as 20 volts P-P. If your receive audio level is adjustable or programmable we recommend around 2.0 volts P-P. This allows very good signal-to-noise ratio and low cabling cross talk. This level results in a 50% rotational setting of the potentiometer.

All DRA-36M's are supplied with a Genuine C-Media CM119A, but the DRA-36M board was designed to be versatile. It will accept a CM119 (without the A) and even the CM108. There are slight differences between these components, and the board can be 'programmed' to accept any of the three.
