PLEASE NOTE:
Your device will have an internal amplifier and if it is playing digital files 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. 11
