  1.  Power switch
  2. Input channel switchInput 1: RCAInput 2: Single-ended 3.5mmInput 3: Balanced 4.4mm
  3.  PowerMatch selection: 0dB/6dB/12dB/18dBWe recommend starting from 0dB and then increasing the switchable gain level to attain an enjoyable and comfortable level of volume from the headphones.Warning: at the outset do not use excessive gain, otherwise, damage to hearing or connected headphones may ensue. AMR/iFi audio is not responsible for any damage/injury from misuse.
  4.  Analogue Volume ControlAt normal listening levels, the volume control should be around the 12 o’clock position. Increase the gain level to enjoy a higher listening level.
  5.  Single-ended 6.3mm outputFor connecting single-ended 6.3mm headphones. With single-ended 3.5mm headphones, connect with a 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter.
  6.  Balanced 4.4mm analogue outputFor connecting balanced 4.4mm headphones.Tip: As the Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones use a balanced design, we recommend the 4.4mm balanced output.
  7.  HD 6XX LEDHeadphone corrections optimized for Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones.
  8.  space Matrix LEDThe space Matrix(on/off ) recreates a holographic sound field.It is a pure analogue signal processing circuit designed for listening to headphones as if one was listening to speakers. This addresses the ‘music inside the head’ sensation, which makes for unsettling listening.Tip: Sonically-hindering DSP is NOT used for HD 6XX nor XSpace Matrix systems. They use the highest-quality discrete components and operate purely in the analogue domain. Hence all the clarity and resolution of the original music is retained.
  9.  SettingsThis button chooses between:– Off– HD 6XX– space
  10. Balanced 4.4mm analogue inputThis is a balanced analogue input.
  11. Single-ended 3.5mm analogue inputFor connecting single-ended 3.5mm input.
