Whenthe control is turned clockwise the left channel is attenuated; whenturned counterclockwise the right channel is attenuated.

The LEDindicators may illuminate at high listening levels. This indicates that a level difference exists between the left and right channels at that moment. This can be disregarded unless there is an audible channel imbalance.

2. Two KBLOperating in Dual-Mono

When two KBLare used for dual-mono operation the Symmetry control adjusts for differences in level between the non-inverted and inverted outputs. When there is an imbalance between the two outputs one of the LEDswill illuminate to indicate the output that is lower in level. Turn the control in that direction until the LEDgoes out. This may or maynot occur in both channels at the same time.

The LEDscan be disabled if desired. See section D, 5 above for details on turning off the LEDs.

Usethe level control to adjust the listening level.

Whentwo KBLsare used the level controls on the two preamps also control the balance between left and right channels.
