NX-5A (Powered Near Field Monitor)
Names and functions
1. Power LED
Lights when power is turned on.
<CAUTION>:
If you use the NX-5A for a long time, the
heatsink gets extremely hot. Do not touch the heatsink
in such a condition.
2. Output level control
Adjusts output level.
3. Tweeter level control
Adjusts tweeter level within a +/- 3dB range.
4. Low-frequency EQ control
Adjusts low frequency characteristics (around 55Hz
range) within a +/- 2dB range.
5. Unbalanced input terminal (Phone jack)
Accepts -10dBV unbalanced input.
6. Balanced input terminal (XLR-3-31 type)
A4dBu balanced input (hot pin is #2).
8. Power switch
Turn the power on or off. Make sure that the output
level control of the connected equipment is set to
minimum when turning on the power.
9. AC IN connector
Connects the AC cord provided.
Control positions
Output level control
Rotating the VOL control clock-
wise increases the output level.
Tweeter level control
You can use the TWEETER con-
trol to adjust the tweeter level
within the range of +/- 3 dB.
The center position (0 dB) is
the nominal position. Turning
the control right boosts the
tweeter level, while turning
it left drops the level (see the
graph right). When the unit is
shipped, the TWEETER control
is set to the center (0 dB).
Correction to low frequency characteristics
This LO FREQ switch permits
correction of the low fre-
quency (around 55Hz range)
response by +/- 2dB.
This control is factory-set the
“0”
position. By setting the
switch at the
“+2dB”
position,
the 55Hz response will be en-
hanced. Setting to the
“-2dB”
,
the response will be attenu-
ated by 2dB.
