EMG JVX Active Tone Control

Hi there,

I have been looking through all threads realted to EMG JVX PUs but did not find anything about my question: I have just mounted the PUs in my Jazz Bass and am pretty happy with the sound and the fact that they do not make any noise at all. However, I wonder if the active tone control is somehow defective. Cranked up to the maximum it gives a great, clear sound. However, turning it down the highs are only cut a little bit (at least to my taste) and the volume is going down significantly. Is this the way it is supposed to work or should the volume remain equal?
Thanks for your help.
