If the left speaker is in an easy to reach location, you can certainly use the physical knob to set volume. If not though, we generally recommend setting the HD6 at around 50% and adjusting from source.
‘-Both analog (3.5mm mini-jack and RCA) inputs are “open” or active, so you can leave 2 audio sources plugged in at the same time. -The USB (Optical for HD6) and the Bluetooth module share the same DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) If connected to both, the Bluetooth connection will take precedence. If you’re using USB […]
Some turntables do not have a built-in preamps and as a result you will need to add an external phono preamp between your turntable and the HD6. Many turntables, however, (such as the Music Hall USB-1 or Audio Technica AT-LP120) have a built-in preamp and include a switch on the back for “line” or “phono”. […]
Bluetooth has a delay of about 30ms (milliseconds) so you can watch videos from Youtube, for example, and stream the audio through your HD6 without any noticeable lag between the video and audio.
The HD6 are capable of providing audio playback for any and all audio that your source device is capable of playing. Your source device would be the device your speakers are currently connected to either via the analog inputs, Bluetooth, or the optical cable. They will play back audio from any streaming service including but […]
Possibly, it depends on the computer’s operating system, sound capabilities and connection type. If your computer is capable of doing so, our speakers will not prevent this type of use in any way. For example, if you have a Mac running Snow Leopard or later, you can create a multiple output device to accomplish this. […]
If it’s on and solid, this means the HD6 is powered on, and currently connected to a Bluetooth-enabled device. If your source is currently sending the HD6 an aptX signal, the LED indicator on the rear panel will illuminate orange instead of white. If it’s on and blinking, this means the HD6 is powered on […]
Some turntables may not have a built-in preamp and you would need to add an external phono preamp to bring the instrument level signal of the turntable to line-level. Some turntables may have a built-in preamp but have a switch on the back for either “line” or “phono,” such as the Music Hall USB-1 or […]
You can absolutely use a turntable with the B2. Some turntables will need a preamp before being connected and others are OK, therefore it is best to try your turntable without the preamp first to see how it operates.
Every setup is different, so some experimentation will be necessary to find your preferred settings, but putting the volume knob around 11 or 12 o’clock is a good starting place if you plan on using your music source (smartphone, computer, TV, etc.) as the master volume control.
