REAR PANEL OVERVIEW
1.
POWER INPUT – Connect the included power
cable to this input and connect the other end of
the cable to a power source. Make sure the
monitor's POWER SWITCH is set to "off" when
plugging and unplugging the cable.
2. POWER SWITCH – Turns the monitor on/off.
Make sure the VOLUME knob is set to "zero"
before turning it on.
3. POWER LED – Illuminates when the monitor is
on.
4. VOLUME – Turn this knob to adjust the monitor's
volume.
5. INPUT – Use a standard 1/4" TRS or XLR cable
(not included) to connect your sound source to
this input.
6. OUTPUT – Use a standard XLR cable (not
included) to connect the monitor to the input of
your speaker, which can be active or passive.
7. SIGNAL LIMIT LED – Illuminates when the
audio signal being sent to the monitor is
"clipping" or distorting. If this light illuminates
frequently or steadily, reduce the volume of your
sound source.
8. GROUND SWITCH – Depressing this switch grounds the monitor, which can reduce hum or noise.
9. PRESET SELECTOR – Set this knob to the optimal setting for the room. See the PRESETS section for descriptions of
the settings.
PRESETS
FLAT – This preset provides a typical frequency response for a floor monitor.
VOCAL 1 – This is similar to the FLAT preset but includes a high-pass filter to reduce some low frequencies. This preset is
optimal for vocal-heavy performance.
VOCAL 2 – This is similar to the FLAT preset but includes a high-pass and low-pass filter to reduce some low and high
frequencies, emphasizing mid-range frequencies to provide.
GUITAR 1 – This preset is optimal for monitoring guitar-heavy mixes.
GUITAR 2 – This preset is optimal for monitoring mixes with acoustic guitar. Lower frequencies produced by an acoustic
guitar's hollow body are reduced while higher frequencies are strengthened to compensate for the lack of treble from the
pickup. (You can even connect the guitar directly to the monitor's INPUT.)
PIANO – This preset is well suited for acoustic piano as well as electronic keyboard instruments.
DSUB – This preset includes a sharp high-pass filter to remove booming low frequencies and so the monitor can be
used in conjunction with a subwoofer (for additional control of the low frequencies).
TWIN – This preset reduces low frequencies and enhances high frequencies to optimize the frequency response when two of
these monitors are used together.
STAGE – This preset reduces unwanted low frequency resonance encountered on suspended wooden or metal floors.
BOOM – This preset should be used for near-field monitoring when the monitor is placed near a microphone on a boom stand.
SIDEFILL – This preset should be used when the monitor is in a sidefill position.
ANTIFEEDBACK – This preset sharply reduces the frequencies most responsible for feedback.
LOUDNESS – This preset reproduces the typical "smile" curve – lowered mid-range frequencies, enhanced bass and treble.
This preset should be used with prolonged listening at low sound pressure level (SPL).
FULL RANGE+SUB – This preset reduces distortion and coil overheating to reduce power compression when used in
conjunction with a subwoofer.
ENTERTAINER – This preset is best suited for combinations of digital keyboards, vocal microphones, and karaoke/MP3
devices. Both high and low frequencies are enhanced for a clear monitor mix for these devices.
ROCK&ROLL – This preset is optimized for a maximum dynamic range without compromising amplifier headroom and speaker
power handling.
