A device or setting which does not change signal level (amplify or attenuate the signal) is said to be at “unity gain.” Many processors are set up for unity gain; that is, they can be plugged into a system without changing its overall levels. In practice, unity gain is often a desired setting for maintaining gain staging, and for optimizing operating levels and signal to noise ratios.
