Power Connector:
This socket accepts
a standard IEC-type power cable.
2.
Input Voltage Selector*:
This recessed
switch adjusts the input voltage from 100-
120V or 220-240V and allows your
RPM500 monitor to be used worldwide.
Make sure this switch is set correctly for
your country to prevent damage to the
speaker.
3.
Power Switch:
This switch powers your
RPM500 monitors on and off.

XLR+1/4" Input (+4 dBu)**:
This input
jack accepts line-level signals from a
balanced XLR or 1/4" TRS connector.
Connect your audio interface, monitor
controller, mixer, or other line-level audio
source to this jack.
5.
RCA Input (-10 dBV)**:
This connector
accepts line-level signals from audio
sources with unbalanced RCA-style
outputs.
6.
Volume Knob:
This knob adjusts the
gain level of all three of the rear panel
inputs (XLR, 1/4" and RCA). The gain is
at minimum when the knob is turned fully
counter-clockwise; the gain is set to its
maximum level when the knob is turned
fully clockwise; additionally, the gain is
set to unity when at the 12:00 position.
Adjust this knob to a position where you
are working with a comfortable range of
travel on the output volume knob of your
connected audio interface, monitor
controller, or mixing console.

Power outlets in North America, Japan, and many parts of South America usually supply between
100V and 120V, whereas outlets in Europe and most of Africa and Asia provide between 220V and
240V. If you are not sure about your region, be sure to check your power outlet's rating and set the
Input Voltage selector before connecting and switching on your RPM500 monitors.
**
The XLR/TRS and RCA inputs are summed (i.e., mixed together) before arriving at the RPM
amplifier. We recommend that not playing audio through both connectors simultaneously, which may
overload the inputs and result in clipping (distortion) at the inputs.
