Control Ergonomics

The ds32a is designed to be very intuitive to use. Take a few minutes to understand the various functions, and within a very short time, using the ds32a will become second nature. You will be able to feel and hear, rather than have to look at the keys and display.

The Quick Reference guide provides a summary of the Control keys and Display Indicators on the ds32a. Details of each Control and Display function are provided in the following pages.

It is suggested that you first familiarize yourself with operating the ds32a without wearing the headphones. Get comfortable with the layout and operation of the Controls. Then do some listening with the ds32a, operate the Controls, and listen to the effects of the various operating modes and functions.

Operate the controls with firm pushes on the keys. The keys are designed to require a modest amount of pressure, in order to avoid accidental switching.

The Volume Control is located behind the Power Key. It is designed to be operated by the left thumb as shown in the illustrations, leaving fingers to control the keys.
The exact grip and position is a matter of personal preference, and should be adjusted for comfort and ease of operation.
