The loudness of sound perceived by human ears over the frequency
spectrum is different. As the audio volume decreases, human ears’
sensitivity to extreme high and low frequencies will decline. As a result,
the audio may seem to become 'thin' sounding at low volumes, losing
bass and treble.
The D.A.S. function will dynamically adjust the sound of the instrument
according to the overall volume for better sound balance, giving you a
more clear, natural and rich sound.
