The Front Panel Controls and
How to Use Them
BALANCE and
LOUDness
The BALANCE and
LOUDness controls are
concentric. The BAL-
ANCE control (large
outer knob) adjusts for
equal volume of either
the left or right chan-
nels. The volume of the channels can be varied
relative to each.
left . . . turning the control to the left accents the
left channel by reducing the right channel output.
right . . . turning the control to the right accents
the right channel by reducing the left channel out-
put.
LOUDness
Use the LOUDness control for full frequency
range listening at even the softest listening levels.
The LOUDness control (the small center knob of the
concentric control) provides low-frequency boost to
compensate for a hearing characteristic of the
human ear at low listening levels. The ear becomes
less sensitive to low frequencies as volume is reduc-
ed. Increased loudness compensation is therefore
desirable at lower listening levels. The loudness
control boosts the low frequencies so that the ear
hears approximately the same musical balance as it
would at higher listening levels.
FLAT: (Maximum counterclockwise rotation) Full
volume with flat frequency response. The loudness
compensation is inoperative in this position.
Turning the control clockwise toward MAX
reduces the listening volume, and automatically in-
creases the compensation by boosting bass.
INPUT SELECTOR
The six position INPUT SELECTOR controls the in-
put program. When the INPUT SELECTOR is turned
to:
AUX 1: the output from any high level program
source requiring flat amplification is connected to
the high level input stage. Such a source could be
another tape recorder, or a television set.
AUX 2: same as AUX 1
TUNER: the output from any AM, FM or MPX FM
tuner is connected to the high level input stage. In
the TUNER position the C 29 has flat amplification.
