Beyerdynamic IMPACTO UNIVERSAL Manual página 6

Impacto universal – High-end cable DAC & Amplifier
• Connect the Impacto universal to your computer, tablet or smartphone by using the appropriate
cable. Make sure that you connect the connector indicating "DAC" to the bottom of the Impacto
universal (refer to illustration 1-3).
• The Impacto universal is ready for operation when the w button is illuminated.
• Set the volume of your player to maximum. After that you will control the volume on the Impacto
universal only.
• In order to protect your hearing, the w button flashes from a certain gain and the volume is not
increased further while pressing the + button. If you wish to increase the volume any further, release
the + button briefly (approx. 1 second) and press the + button again (as long as the w button still
flashes). Please also refer to the note on the European standard EN 50332 at the beginning of this
manual as well as the section "Warning / hearing protection".
Note:
• For playing Hi-Res audio files you will need a suitable Hi-Res player software (PC/Mac) or a Hi-Res
player app (Android). For more information please go to www.beyerdynamic.com/impacto-universal.
• When playing a track and the Impacto universal receives audio data in a Hi-Res resolution (from
48 kHz) from the player, the LED on the Impacto universal will illuminate white. With lower
resolutions the LED will not illuminate.
• Please note that some players change the data rate by up- or downsampling so that the LED display
does not correspond to the original audio format.
• For optimum sound, please make the following settings in your playback device:
– Switch the equalizer off or set it to linear.
– Deactivate any sound profiles.
– Deactivate upsampling and downsampling.
– Set the volume to maximum.
