Warm tips:

1. Two outputs (RCA / XLR ) can work at the same time.
2. When the scale line on frequency knobs points to the middle means this frequency band is neither weakened nor strengthened. When rotating it to its middle position there will be a feeling of pause.
3. Default 6H1N-BN tubes, can be changed to the following models: ECC85 / 6SN7GT / 6N1 / 6AQ8, and the 6SN7GT requires a 6SN7 to 6N1 socket adapter.
