5.2 Gain Switch Function
The amplifier features a two-stage gain switch (H/L) located on the side. This switch allows you to adjust the amplification level to match your headphones' impedance and your desired volume output.
- 'H' (High Gain): Use this setting for higher impedance headphones (e.g., 60-150Ω) or when you require a louder output from your audio source.
- 'L' (Low Gain): Use this setting for lower impedance headphones (e.g., 10-59Ω) or for normal listening levels to prevent distortion and conserve battery life.
