These controls allow subtle adjustments to the tonal balance of the sound. In the central position these controls have no effect. These controls only modify the sound through your loudspeakers and the Pre- Out sockets, they do not affect the signals sent through the Tape Out connections.

When Tape Monitor is selected, the source component chosen by the input selection push buttons continues to be routed to the Rec Out sockets for recording or processing.
