Each of the four headphone outputs has an independent volume knob. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Advise users to start with low volume and gradually increase to a comfortable listening level.

The Mono switch on the front panel sums the stereo input signal to mono. This can be useful for checking phase compatibility or for monitoring a mono source across both ears of the headphones.

The Tahap Monitor knob controls the overall output level of the balanced monitor/thru outputs on the rear panel. The Pantau Bisu button silences these outputs without affecting the headphone outputs. This is useful for quickly cutting monitor sound while maintaining headphone mixes.
