BALANCE 1 2 3 4 L5 5R 4 0 1 2 3 Adjusting the LOUDNESS control Retains a full tonal range at any volume level, thus compensating for the human ears' loss of sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at a low volume level. CAUTION If the PURE DIRECT button is turned on with the LOUDNESS control set at a certain level, the input signals bypass the LOUDNESS control, resulting in a sudden increase in the sound output level.

Using the PURE DIRECT button Routes input signals from your audio sources so that the input signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any alterations to the audio signals and creating the purest possible sound.
