Output selector switch
Here, the three outputs RCA 1, RCA 2, and XLR can be acti-
vated separately and in groups. In the ALL ON setting, all three
inputs are active and can be used simultaneously. The settings
RCA 1 and RCA 2, or RCA 1 and XLR are intended for bi-
amping configurations, each with a separate power amplifier
(e.g. a headphone amplifier). The separate power amplifier can
then be operated on XLR or RCA 2.

Pre-level control – left and
right channel
The Level L and R controls are used to precisely reduce the
channels in 1 dB increments separately for each channel. This
allows for the accurate adjustment of the reproduction balance.
The controls are step switches, ensuring exact accuracy and ab-
solute long-term stability. The controls are bypassed in the 0 dB
setting. Control is frequency-compensated and thus does not
negatively affect the quality of the music signal. Frequency-com-
pensated attenuators originate from high-frequency technology.
Compared to more simple, non-compensated variants, their ad-
vantage is that the frequency bandwidth and phase shift are not
affected.

Rotary knob for activating
the tone control
When the tone control is on, the TC LED on the front illuminates.
When the tone control is off, the electronic control system is by-
passed completely.

Bass and treble controls
These controls allow for precise raising and lowering of the bass
and treble. One scale mark corresponds to +/- 3 dB.
The control unit is a special feature of the
HP 700
. The combination of
level adjustment
and the
tone control
allows for a more precise correction of reproduction under unfavorable conditions, be
it due to the room acoustics or the sound carrier.
The
level adjustment
(individual volume control per channel) is virtually indispensable if the loud-
speakers are placed at different distances to the listener (e.g. due to spatial reasons). The level
control can be used to adjust the channels to the listener
without losing audio quality
(see (26) +
(27)).
The
tone control
is achieved through tube technology and ensures a homogeneous sound pattern.
