Bose QC35 headphones impedance

[Gary Smith-2]

My QC15 headsets bit the dust and Bose
gave me a great price on a new one with
exchange. The QC15 had a modular plug with
an option for high/low impedance and it
allowed the headsets to work beautifully
with the K3/K3s This QC35 while much
better than the QC15, has no option to
change the value and the AF blasts
through. I cannot turn the volume barely
at all and it's too loud. A monitor
setting of 3 for CW is almost too loud.

I looked in the owners manual but didn't
see a configuration option to elect that
from the software. Have I missed the
obvious again?

Thanks & 73,

Gary

There is a High gain and a Low gain setting for audio.  In the CONFIG menu as I recall.
