loudspeakers or live music. The modes are indicated by the crossfeed light under the lens as 
follows:- No light – Normal Mode with no crossfeed, Red light – Minimum Crossfeed (9dB 700Hz), 
Green light – Medium Crossfeed (6dB 700Hz), Blue light – Maximum Crossfeed (4.5dB 700Hz) 

 
Volume Bypass 

Press and hold the Crossfeed switch whilst turning on to activate volume bypass mode. The volume 
control will illuminate light blue to indicate line level output. Using bypass mode Hugo can be used 
as a standalone DAC into a preamplifier with volume control. 

Warning! – Volume bypass mode will set the volume on all outputs including the headphone 
outputs to full level. Do not plug in or use headphones when activating bypass mode.
