Three sets of ALC dynamic characteristics can be selected for specific sound effects, as described in Table 3. The ALC-1 mode (the ALC pin shorted to GND) plays music in a most mellow manner with negligible amount of clipping distortion and lower average output power (quieter). On the other hand, the ALC-3 mode (the ALC pin shorted to GND via a 300kΩ resistor) plays music in a most dynamic manner with some extent of clipping distortion and higher average output power (louder).
