Automatic Gain
Element IV handles audio logic for a blissful experience, automatically toggling the optimal
gain state as you adjust volume. No thought is required on your part. Enjoy!
Low Gain is always active at volume levels from -127.5 to 0 dBFS. Continuing to turn the
knob beyond 0 dB presents an on-screen progress bar, signifying a pending transition to
High Gain. Element IV automatically adjusts volume for a pleasant transition between gain
states. You will see an effective volume range of 0 to 14 dB in High Gain.
Please observe safe listening habits under Listening Tips. Typical listening levels range
from-50 dB to -20 dB for most dynamic and planar headphones, depending on your music
collection and preferences. For IEMS, expect to listen below -50 dBFS.
Display
Element IV displays status information while you interact, then vanishes so that your focus
