1, 2 and 3 the volume level can be held equal for all channels; the signal will
remain at a constant loudness when switching from one channel to another. The
master off-on switch is attached to the volume control. This switch controls the
three auxiliary A.C. outlets on the rear panel of the Audio Compensator as well as
the three auxiliary A.C. outlets on the power supply of the C-8P.
The aural compensator may be used to compensate for the response charac-
teristic of the ear at reduced volume. This control decreases the mid-range
frequencies while leaving the low and high frequencies at relatively constant
intensity. By reducing volume level with this control proper balance of the pro-
gram material can be maintained.
