headphones. Since headphones always have some
leakage from environmental sounds, selecting the right
polarity will improve the coherency of the leaking
acoustic sound with the folded back electric sound. This
usually results in a warmer and more pleasant sound
experience when singing or speeking. You can find the
optimal polarity by talking into your mic with
headphones on and foldback engaged, and then
switching between normal and inverted phase. Select
the version that has most subjective bass.

• Push key. This function will be added in a future
update.

• Main out volume. By default it is turned on. Some
people prefer to use an external analog volume control
in stead of the internal digital one. For those we offer
the option to disable the main out volume control.
Volume control of 2nd out and headphones will still
work.
