Using the product

1.   Connect the signal source whose input signals you want to play via 

headphones using an XLR cable to 

[XLR]

, a 1/4" jack cable to 

[TRS]

 or an RCA 

cable to 

[RCA]

.

  

 Connect the signal source to the corresponding inputs of the right input 

INPUT R

 for playback in mono. 

For playback in stereo, connect the signal source to the corresponding inputs 

of the right input 

INPUT R

 and the left input 

INPUT L

.

2.  For the playback of input signals in mono, turn the rotary control 

[MODE]

 to 

MONO

, for the playback of input signals in stereo, turn the rotary control to 

STEREO

. For muting the headphone output 

[HEADPHONE]

, turn the rotary 

control to 

MUTE

.

3.  Connect the headphone via the 1/4" jack socket to your device.
4.  Ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the 

device and switch the selector 

[115V/230V]

, if necessary.

5.  Connect the cable of the power adapter to the IEC chassis connector and plug 

the power adapter into a properly wired mains outlet.

6.  Turn on the device with the main switch 

[POWER]

.

7.  Set the volume of the headphone output as desired using the rotary control 

[VOLUME]

.

8.  Set the feed ratio (

MID

LOW

HIGH

) as desired using the rotary control 

[FEED]

According to the ratio, the left channel signal will be feed into the right channel 

signal.

9.  Set the virtual positioning of speakers (

30°

22°

40°

) using the rotary control 

[ANGLE]

. According to the angle, the arriving time of the signal is different. 

According to the interaural difference, it is possible to create speaker-like 

conditions.

10.  When using headphones, the mid signal normally is lower than the side signals. 

Adjusting the settings with the rotary controls 

[FEED]

 and 

[ANGLE]

 can amplifie 

the mid signal intensively. 

Use the rotary control 

[M/S LEVEL]

 to damp the mid signal in two steps to 

counteract the settings made with the rotary controls 

[FEED]

 and 

[ANGLE]

.
