1.2 Hearing Damage – IMPORTANT!
Please exercise caution and avoid listening to music at excessive volume. The following excerpt
is from the CDC website:
“Hearing loss can result from damage to structures or nerve fibers in the inner ear that respond
to sound. This type of hearing loss, termed “noise-induced hearing loss,” is usually caused by
exposure to excessively loud sounds and cannot be medically or surgically corrected.
Sound intensity is measured in decibels with a sound level meter. Noise-induced hearing loss
can result from a one-time exposure to a very loud sound (at or above 120 decibels), blast,
impulse, or by listening to loud sounds (at or above 85 decibels) over an extended period. The
louder the sound, the shorter the time period before hearing damage occurs.”
Listen smart, protect your hearing!
1.3 Output Power – IMPORTANT!
In order to drive low efficiency and/or high impedance headphones effectively, the is
built with powerful headphone outputs. At the 0dB gain setting, the headphone output jacks are
capable of 5.6 Vrms output with the volume knob at maximum. Please be sure to take the
following precautions each time you use the :
•
Always start with the gain switch set at -10dB.
•
Always start with the volume no higher than the 9 o’clock position.
•
Never switch to a different pair of headphones without first restoring the above
default safe settings.
