Digital Sound Control
Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of
pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classic controls
you can use to optimise the frequency ranges
for different musical styles. Each mode uses
graphic equalizing technology to automatically
adjust the sound balance and enhance the most
important sound frequencies in your chosen
music style. Ultimately, Digital Sound Control
makes it easy for you get the most out of your
music by precisely adjusting the sound balance
to match the type of music you are playing.
Dynamic Bass Boost
Dynamic Bass Boost maximizes your music
enjoyment by emphasizing the bass content of
the music throughout the range of volume
settings - from low to high – at the touch of a
button! Bottom-end bass frequencies usually
get lost when the volume is set at a low level.
To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be
switched on to boost bass levels, so you can
enjoy consistent sound even when you turn
down the volume.
