ifi PHANTOM Series - Gain Selection

The XSpace Holographic circuit for loudspeakers corrects a distortion of the XSpace sound eld caused by recording via microphones and playback via
loudspeakers. This sound eld distortion was rst described by Alan Dower Blumlein (the inventor of Stereophonic sound) and corrected by EMI in early
'Stereosonic' recordings.
However, the original Stereosonic circuit tended to result in a narrower soundstage than if recorded straight and often overcompensated distortion of the
soundstage perspective. iFi's XSpace Holographic systems avoid this and instead, allow an expansion of the width of the sound stage.
Tip: These modes can also be used to enhance the imaging of recordings that oer poor spatiality.
Gain Selection
0dB (Default)/9dB/18dB.
Tip: Use the lowest gain possible for the best sound. At normal listening levels, the volume control should be around 12 o'clock. Increase the gain if the 12 o'clock position
does not provide satisfying listening levels.
Note: Please be aware that the iCAN Phantom can output >14V in Single Ended mode and over 27V in Balanced mode. These levels are very high and can damage
many headphones and/or drive most ampliers (if used as a line-stage) into very hard clipping. Damage to headphones and/or loudspeakers may result from
excessively high volume settings.
