Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Tonal profile

114 dB/V at 32 Ω is the loudest combination in this batch by a wide margin — about 99 dB/mW. It reaches painful levels from a phone, which means the useful volume sits in the bottom of the control's travel, where channel-balance errors on cheap analogue pots live.
