Hi All,
 
Where is the hi/lo gain switch on the HiFiMan EF-5 Amp?  I can't seem to find it anywhere.  Also, is there a manual somewhere online I can download for the amp? 
 
Thanks!

I don't think there is a manual. The gain switch is on top of the amp below the plexiglass window. The switch moves left and right.

Hmmm....I've looked and looked and don't see any thing resembling a switch through the plexi.

Here is a (crappy) pic of what I see:

Wow I guess your unit doesn't have a gain switch. Did you get it used? It may be an early one before the gain switch was added.

Just got a brand new one... No gain switch that I can find on mine either.

Never mind. Found the gain switch on the bottom of the unit.

Hi guys,
It's my first post and I already need help. How do I work the gain switch located at the bottom of EF-5? It so small...
Thanks

Use a small screw driver and push both switches to ON position.  It will increase the volume output by +10dB.
 
L is for the left channel and R is for the right channel.  You need to push both switches to ON otherwise you will hear your music from one CAN is louder than the other.
