FAQ
Is analog volume better than turning down my DAW?
SPL explains that digital volume reduces bit resolution as you turn down, while analog control does not degrade the signal.
What is the Mute switch for?
To silence the speakers without touching the volume, and as a panic switch if a computer glitch sends a full-level signal.
