Select loudness ‘EQ 2’ - sets the equalizer to use preset filter curves designed for use when using low listening
levels. T he human ear’s f requency response varies with volume level. At high levels it has relatively flat response,
while at low levels its sensitivity to high and low frequencies is reduced. The loudness equalizer is designed to
cancel the ear’s frequency response anomalies to provide consistent tone at all volume levels. Note that you will
hear little difference using the loudness control at high volumes as it has its greatest effect at lower volume levels.
