Select loudness ‘EQ 2’ - sets the equalizer to use preset filter curves designed for use when using low listening
levels. The human ear’s frequency response varies with volum e 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 volum e levels. Note that you will
hear little difference using the loudness control at high volum es as it has its greatest effect at lower volume levels.
