PLEASE NOTE:
Your device will have an internal amplier and if it is playing digital
les like MP3s it will also have an integrated DAC (Digital Audio
Converter). If you turn up the volume to 100%, your device will be
sending distorted signals to the Hive 2. To avoid this and to get the
best sound quality from the speaker, we recommend that you do
not run your device any higher than 95% volume.
Also note, the Hive 2 uses a dynamic EQ which changes depending
on the volume level set on the Hive 2. We recommend you set the
volume on your device to 95% and then adjust the volume only on
the Hive 2. As you set the volume higher on the Hive 2, the bass
level will slowly decrease to prevent distortion.
