Mid-Boost:This 2-position switch selects between the “In” and “Out” Mid-Boost modes.The Out mode produces a flat midrange response for normal monitoring conditions, while In will move the sound stage forward toward your listening position. 'Mid-Boost In' High-Freq:This 3-position switch selects High Frequency compensation with -2dB, 0dB or +2dB.The 0dB (normal) position produces flat response for use in most common applications. Use -2dB if your mixes translate as dull or lacking in high frequen
