Operating Instructions
Power On/Off and Volume Control
To power on the amplifier and adjust the volume, rotate the ON/OFF Switch / Volume Control knob clockwise. Continue rotating clockwise to increase the volume. To decrease the volume and power off the device, rotate the knob counter-clockwise until it clicks off.
Gain Switch
The amplifier features a two-stage gain switch (H/L) designed to optimize audio output for headphones with varying impedance levels. This ensures optimal performance and sound quality.
- H (High Gain): Select this setting for high-impedance headphones (typically 150-300Ω) or when a stronger output signal is required to drive less sensitive headphones.
- L (Low Gain): Select this setting for low-impedance headphones (typically 16-100Ω) or when a lower output signal is sufficient, helping to prevent distortion and conserve battery life.
