CD Direct Amplification & Pure Direct Mode For the most faithful audio reproduction, CD Direct Amplification provides a straight, noise-free signal path from your CD input. Activating Pure Direct Mode bypasses tone, loudness, and balance circuits, minimizing signal interference and ensuring an uncompromised listening experience. Continuously Variable Loudness Control This unique analog control adjusts tonal balance for perfect sound at any volume. By compensating for the human ear’s reduced sensitivity to highs and lows at softer levels, it delivers full, natural sound whether you’re listening quietly at night or at concert levels.
