Feature: Headphone jack 1 & 2 sport a potent headphone amplifier.
Benefit: Loads of
headroom
, to audition intelligibly, make intelligent decisions and drive an inspired performance. Please exhibit
caution when selecting a level. (See
“
tip
”
)
Operation: First choose a source to monitor from, by depressing the appropriate
headphone
source
button. Then determine a
moderate listening level via the
headphone
level
knob.
Tip:

Always start with the level control completely counter clockwise (minimum). The headphone amplifiers are very
powerful and there is no solution for destroyed hearing, even from the audio alchemists at Dangerous Music.
