MODE switch
MODE switch
By using the MODE switch () you can switch the audio signal to Stereo, Stereo with Laterality
control and Mono. In Mono mode, both stereo channels are summed. The mono signal main-
tains the same loudness, because both stereo channels are each reduced by  dB.
Laterality
Laterality refers to the deviation of sound perception to either side of the ears. With the Laterality control() you
can compensate perceived volume differences between channels that may be due to a hearing impairment.
This control differs from conventional balance controls. If one channel is attenuated, the other one is increased at
the same time. This means that, e.g. when hard left, the level of the left channel increases
by . dB while the right channel is attenuated by . dB.
This control has a narrower range than conventional balance controls. Its resolution is very
fine, which means it can be peciseley adjusted.
Set the MODE switch to LATERALITY to control the laterality (see above).
