#KHADAS TONE2 PRO MANUAL#

Present: what appear to be at first glance three RCA jacks on the back (accurately, two balanced RCA jacks (a Khadas standard and innovation, cables purchased separately), and a S/PDIF RCA jack for coaxial digital audio input).

Present: two USB Type-C ports on the rear.

Present: a knurled aluminum rotating dial surrounded below by an RGB ring light (accurately, a hybrid digital/analog volume control knob, rotate/push encoder) on the face/top of the Tone2 Pro.

The compact Tone2 Pro is about the size of a typical deck of playing cardsД«uilding my curiosity are several obvious physical elements, present and missing: For something slightly smaller than a deck of cards, it has presence, exudes confidence, and calls your attention. The saturation of color in the metal housing is outstanding and is just as beautiful in person as it is in the photos. There are no loose parts inside or outside, even when (probably inadvisably) shaking the device. Opening the box and uncovering the little and light Tone2 Pro, it feels remarkably solid and pleasingly substantial for something so small.

Instructions could be clearer (a demo video from Khadas would be most welcome and immediately fix this).

No included USB-C outlet/plug/adapter to accompany the male-to-male USB-C cable, or USB-C to USB-A converter to connect to older computers.

No accompanying control app, user sound profiles, or EQ/sound customization.

For those who are sight-impaired or have color vision deficiency, this device will be extremely challenging to use.

The lack of simplicity in the user experience/controls may be a deterrent for some.

Non-intuitive: without the user manual and reference guides always handy, it is only usable in the most basic of ways after initial setup.
