The unity gain setting simply means that the input signal level will be unchanged; it will neither be increased or decreased in level. There are two different types of inputs, balanced and unbalanced, and the position on the control just happens to be a little different for the two inputs. If you wanted unity gain, you would just use the mark for the input type you were using.
If your input were a line level signal, you would likely want to use unity gain which is also referenced as 0db. A line level signal is already at a level that is appropriate for further processing. So it normally doesn't need any additional gain.
A mic is very low level though and requires gain to bring it up to the line level required by the next stages. That is why you need a higher setting on the level control.
Levels need to be controlled more or less, so that they remain within reasonable limits. If the level goes too high, distortion results. If it goes too low, one of the later stages will need additional gain, and adding gain will add some noise. A lot of gain is necessary with mics, and preamps are very low noise so that the mic signal can be brought up to line level and remain clean. For that reason it's important that the gain for a mic occurs in the input amp where it can be done with minimum noise. So you want to adjust the input level to a point where all of the later levels can remain at or around their own 0db level.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
