Rotating the VOL control clock- wise increases the output level.

Tweeter level control

You can use the TWEETER con- trol to adjust the tweeter level within the range of +/- 3 dB.

The center position (0 dB) is the nominal position. Turning the control right boosts the tweeter level, while turning it left drops the level (see the graph right).

When the unit is shipped, the TWEETER control is set to the center (0 dB).
