Note:
The
RIM
playback characteristic
has
been incorporated
in
the
LEAK
STEREO
l
30,
as
this
is
the
internationally agreed standard.
This
characteristic does not
take into account
the
acoustics of
the
recordi
ng
studio,
the
position
of
the
microphones relative
to
the
art
istes,
your pickup, your loudspeaker
sys
t
ems,
the
acoustics
of
your room and your particul
ar
ears!
In
other words,
the
play-back characteristic
is
of
use
only
as
an approximation, and
it
may
we
ll be necessary
to
adjust
the
final
resu
lt
by
us
i
ng
the
controls marked
as
'BASS' and
'TREBLE';
this
is
the
reason for their presence.

made prior
to
1955
, for instance,
the
bass and treble controls maybe u
sed
to correct differences
in
t
he
recording characteristic.
When
playing European
78
recrods,
the
'TREBLE
' control should, theoretically, be turned
to
'2
O'Clock'.
Consumer
op
inion
in
some
co
u
ntries
insists
on a magnitu
de
of
available bass boost which, if u
sed
at maximum, can only
result
in
a travesty
of
the
original
mus
ic.
We
have provided you with an availability
of
bass boost whi
ch
you certainly should not need ii your pickup and loudspeakers are moderately good.
It
is
not possible
to
obtain
true
bass
from
small loudspeaker
systems
by turning
the
'BASS'; control to maximum, though an intermediate setting may be helpful,
particularly when
lis
tening at
low
intensity levels las
in
an apartment late at night).
BALANCE
The
balance knob on
the
front panel can adjust
the
sound output balance
of
the
left and right speakers
to
compensate for an unbalanced sound.
Note:
ii
you
turn
the
balance control knob to lull
Left
or Right,
the
other channel will be silent.

The
LEAK
STEREO
130
will bypass certain ctrcuits w
it
hin
the
amplifier design
by
stopping
the
power
supply
to
t
hese
circuitts.
It
will reduce noise and electronic
in
terference !albeit minor) in order reproduce
the
purest sound
as
is
electronically possible.
Note: bass, treble, and balance cont
rols
are not available when direct
is
activated.
PROTECTION MODE
LEAK
STEREO
l
30
