ifi PHANTOM Series - Xbass Adjustment; Stereo Balanced XLR Headphone Output; Analogue Volume Control Dial

XBass adjustment
Dierent recordings and dierent headphones exhibit dierent frequency responses. XBass is an analogue signal
processing (ASP) circuitry. It is sonically superior to Digital Signal Processing (DSP) systems.
XBass is tailored to correct
the bass deciency in the headphone/loudspeaker and achieve the desired level. It is NOT a traditional tone or loudness
control. The maximum boost is 12dB and the frequency at which this maximum boost is achieved is as follows:
is disabled (this allows the ‘direct’ sound to be enjoyed).
for headphones/loudspeakers missing only the very lowest bass (below 40Hz).
for headphones/loudspeakers missing some bass (below 80Hz).
for headphones/loudspeakers missing substantial bass including some mid-bass (below 160Hz).
Note: Please be careful with the XBass settings especially at high gain and high volume control settings, as even the most power-hungry headphones may be
damaged by the power of the iCAN Phantom.
Tip: The
XBass circuit is designed to correct dierent levels of bass deciency inherent in many headphones/loudspeakers. It is NOT a gimmick to add articial
bass to recordings. Great care has been taken in the design to ensure there is no degradation of sound quality.
Stereo Balanced XLR Headphone Output
Connect XLR – 4 Pin Balanced headphones.
Analogue Volume control dial
To control the volume.
Tip: For normal listening levels, the volume control should be between 10 and 2 o'clock. Adjust the gain upwards if the volume is unsatisfactory. If one cannot turn up the
volume to even 10 o'clock (at the lowest gain setting), please connect the headphone to the iEMatch Balanced 4.4mm or Unbalanced 3.5mm or connections, which are
matched to high-sensitivity headphones such as in-ear-monitors and other high-sensitivity modern headphones designed to operate from portable devices.
