Operating instructions

4.9 Loudness

If you listen to music at low levels, you often recognize that bass and treble reproduction are weak. This is

because the human ear is not sensitive to bass and treble at low sound levels. To compensate this you can

use the parametric loudness function of the C6m. This function will increase bass and treble levels when you

decrease the volume. When the volume is increased the frequency response will be more and more flat and

remain linear at high volume levels. In order to obtain best results you have to proceed in the following way:

Set the amplifier to a moderate volume level. Using the buttons VALUE (8, 9) choose in the loudness

menu a curve ( "of" and 1 to 9) which gives best sound impression and exit the menu (button EXIT (7)).

NOTE: The loudness function selects automatically the correct curve depending on actual volume setting.

So if you change volume a different curve than previously selected may be shown in the loudness menu.

This is not a malfunction.

4.10 Balance

Set the balance between right and left channel for optimal stereo image.

4.11 Input attenuation

If a signal source produces a too high level and overdrives the inputs of the amplifier you will her some

distortions and pop-noise even if volume is set to minimum. In this case set the input attenuation to ACTIVE.

An attenuation circuit placed directly behind the input will be activated and reduce the incoming signal level

by 6 dB thus preventing the input stage from overdrive.

NOTE: This function is only available on inputs 1-3 and if one of thes inputs is actually selected.

4.12 Set poweramp

A3.2

You can set the power amplifier ON or OFF. This is useful if you have connected a headphone amp or a

separate power amplifier to the pre out (24, 27).

A5.2

Activate / deactivate the two speaker outputs (31, 32).

4.13 Set front connector

You can select the function of the 3.5 mm jack on the front panel (11): Phones output or front input (see also

2.17)

4.14 Set processor (see also 2.8, 2.9)

Switches processor function "on" / "off". If the processor is activated, it influences the signals on the speaker

outputs. The signals on fix out (23) are not affected.
