NOTE: Using the unit with high volume over a long period may cause
serious hearing damages. Please set the volume so that you can suf-
ficiently hear the monitoring signal. Ringing in the ears clearly indi-
cates that the adjusted volume is too high. Turn down the volume
and make sure that you're using circumaural headphones with a good
noise suppression or that your In-ear phones are perfectly adapted to
your ears. When external noise is suppressed sufficiently, the monitor
volume can be lowered accordingly.
4) BALANCE control
Depending on the operation mode (see next section), this knob
either sets the balance between the two channels of the stereo
signal or the mixing ratio of the two monophonic audio sources at
the INPUTS (L) / (R).
5) MODE SWITCH button
This button toggles the operation mode of EarIn. You can choose
between two modes:
Button not pressed Stereo mode
In Stereo mode, the INPUT (L) signal is fed to the left and the INPUT
(R) signal is fed to the right channel of the headphone. You can set
the L/R balance of both channels with the BALANCE knob.
Button pressed Mono mode
In Mono mode, the INPUT (L) and INPUT (R) signals are summed
and fed to both headphone channels. However, you can set the
volume ratio of both mono sources via the BALANCE knob.
Operation
Proceed as follows:
Insert a standard 9V battery in the battery compartment of EarIn or
connect the supplied DC adapter to the mains.
Using the appropriate cables, connect your source device (mixing
desk, audio interface, etc.) to the XLR sockets INPUT (L) / (R) on the
bottom of EarIn.
Connect your in-ear or circumaural headphones to the 1/8" mini jack
of Ear In.
Set the VOLUME knob to its minimum and switch on EarIn.
Gradually increase the volume to a comfortable monitoring level.
Depending on the source signal, choose the MONO MIX or STEREO
operation mode and set the volume ratio or balance as required.
