Unbalanced wiring works with either a 2- or 3-conductor TRS connector. A 2-conductor TRS plug
(or sometimes also just called TS plug) automatically grounds the minus signal input, whereas a 3-
conductor TRS plug wired unbalanced provides the option of leaving the minus open or grounded.
We recommend that you ground the unused input.
3. serial number

4. vent port
–nEar08 classic is a vented box speaker system with a vent port on the rear panel.
Make sure you are not blocking the vent port (i.e. by putting the speaker too close to a wall) or the
sound colour will be changed.
