_
Hugo TT 2 has a variety
of settings to suit various
equipment and environments.
Please take a moment to
familiarise yourself with their
meanings and how they may
impact your experience.
Before connecting Hugo TT 2
to any equipment it is highly
recommended that you manually
configure the device to operate
in low gain range. The gain
ranges are represented as LO G
(low gain) or HI G (high gain).
Low gain is -9dB lower, or times
0.35. The output voltage at both
gain levels is 4.3 V RMS at 0dB.

Warning: Hugo TT 2 is
capable of delivering
huge amounts of output
power whilst in this mode never
dramatically increase volume.
Doing so could be a risk to your
equipment and your hearing!
Gain range is only available when
Amplification, or Headphone
mode is selected, as when DAC
mode is enabled the option will
send a fixed 2.5 V RMS output
and not offer any user selectable
range.
When changing from GAIN mode
the outputs are muted for 16
seconds as the analogue is re-
initialised. The display will show
the mode set during this period.
When the volume is displayed,
then H (high gain) L (low gain)
is shown on the display together
with the volume setting in dB.
