channel 2 is on the right earphone.

blend between mixes is adjustable.
EQ
Use the two-band shelving equalizer to boost either bass or treble frequencies
up to +6dB in 2 dB increments.
LOW BOOST: Boosts frequencies below 100 Hz
HIGH BOOST: Boosts frequencies above 10 kHz

VLIMIT (Maximum Volume)
Set a value (-3 to -21 dB, adjustable in 3 dB increments) to attenuate the
highest possible volume level. Turning the volume knob through its entire
range of motion still affects volume; the limit simply narrows the range of dB
adjustment.
Note: The VLIMIT does not compress the audio.
