7.5.10. VOLUME STEPS: Choosing Volume Steps

The YOUNG MKIV output level can be set with two different granularity intervals: 1dB or
0.5dB. Choosing 0.5dB will allow for a broader but faster level setting, while 0.5dB will
allow for finer but slower setting, as the available steps double.

7.5.11. VOLUME MODE: Choosing Volume Mode

The YOUNG MKIV listening level can be displayed in two fashions: either in deciBels or in
steps. Moreover, it is possible to freeze the listening level to the current value (this is
useful when the YOUNG MKIV is used as a true source connected to a preamplifier or
integrated amplifier).
In decibel mode, the maximum level is 0dB, while negative values with increasing
magnitude indicate decreasing listening levels. For example, a listening level of -15dB is
higher than a listening level of -20dB.
In steps mode, the maximum listening level is 140, while positive values with decreasing
magnitude indicate decreasing listening levels. For example, a listening level of 40 will be
higher than a listening level of 30.
