Tone Controls

The iFi RETRO Stereo 50 incorporates a +/- 8dB precision studio-grade tone control. The tone control system 

can be bypassed by the Direct switch:

Tip: 

This tone control system has been engineered with utter transparency; one should not hear a significant 

    difference with the Direct switch On or Off if the tone control themselves are at their neutral position.

  

This tone control system can be used to recreate a number of  additional EQ curves for vinyl record playback, 

    please refer to the: Turntable section for more details.

On = Direct On, tone control system bypassed.

Off = Direct Off, tone control system is enabled.

Tip: 

Sonically-damaging DSP is NOT used for either XBass nor 3D HolographicSound® systems. It uses the 

     highest-quality discrete components and so the integrity of the original recording is retained. Hence all the 

     clarity and resolution of the original music is retained.

For use with the iFi Retro LS3.5, it is recommended to set the XBass to the following configurations:

    1. If the iFi Retro LS3.5 loudspeakers are placed on speaker stands in free space, use the 

setting.

    2. If the iFi Retro LS3.5 loudspeakers are placed on a console or in an open shelf, use the 

setting.

The iFi Retro LS3.5 speakers are designed with the XBass function of the Retro Stereo 50 as part of the 

     overall frequency response, hence it is recommended to at least use the

setting for the maximum sound

     quality.
