1. Volume 

Typically the Volume will be le  at 100% and a system master volume control will be 
used elsewhere. But it can be used as a cue mute when changing records and cleaning 
the stylus. Select and rotate the knob CW (clockwise) one click for Mute. Rota ng CCW 
(counterclockwise) will a enuate the signal and lets the PuYn be used with systems 
lacking a volume control. Another method is keeping the Volume set to 50%, which 
then permits fast adjustment of volume depending on mood or source material.

2. Tilt 

Tilt may be the most useful of the four tone controls. Like a seesaw, it pivots the fre-
quency response at 900Hz, the fulcrum frequency. This quickly adjusts toward either a 
warmer or brighter sound character. Go higher for more detail or lower for more 
warmth. When switching cartridges on your turntable or even changing records, the 
Tilt may be the easiest way to get the 'right' sound to your ear.

3. Bass 

This is a bass shelving control with a corner frequency of 300Hz. It adjusts in 1dB steps.
