front wall, the monitors should be
placed either nearer than 1m or further
than 3m from the front wall. Placement
close to the front wall (<1m) will boost
low frequencies, and the tone controls
should be adjusted appropriately (see
figure 6).

The monitors should be aimed toward
the listening position. This maximizes
the ratio of direct sound to reflected
sound and the listener is able to hear
more of the material and less of the
room effects. Subjectively this is per-
ceived as cleaner sound and superior
stereo imaging.

Figure 8 shows the three possibilities
for mounting the 2029A Digital.  On the
base of the monitor is a

/

" UNC thread-

ed hole which accommodates a stand-
ard microphone stand.  On the rear
there are two methods to suspend the
loudspeaker. An Omnimount®

 

size 50

bracket can be used, two  M6x10 mm
screws are required. 4 mm diameter
screws with suitable size heads can

be used in conjunction with the wall
hanging key holes. The 2029A Digital
can be placed horizontally or vertical-
ly. Enclosed is also a bag containing
four large and four small friction pads.
The larger pads are for the base of the
2029A Digital, and if placed horizon-
tally, the smaller pads may be used on
the side. There are recesses on the
speaker cabinet where the pads fit.

The 2029A Digital has been designed
in accordance with international safe-
ty standards. To ensure safe operation
and to maintain the instrument in safe
operating condition, the following
warnings and cautions must be ob-
served:

Servicing and adjustment should only
be performed by qualified service per-
sonnel.

Do not use this product with an un-
earthed mains cable as this may com-
promise electrical safety.

This equipment is capable of produc-
ing sound pressure levels in excess of
85 dB, which may cause permanent
hearing damage.

Free flow of air behind the loudspeak-
er is necessary to maintain sufficient
cooling. Do not obstruct airflow around
the loudspeakers.

Do not insert any objects through the
bass reflex ports on the face of the unit,
as this may damage the electronics in-
side the loudspeaker.

Do not run an analog audio signal to
the digital input RCA connector. Do-
ing so may overload your audio equip-
ment output and cause them perma-
nent damage.
