Figure 6. Suggested tone control settings for various acoustic environments
tem. When the S30D detects a digital
signal it switches automatically to the
digital input, and the mode LED turns
yellow. The S30D will switch back to
the analog input if significant errors
are detected in the digital audio or
the digital signal is not present. The
mode LED indicates this by turning
green. If the LED turns red, it indi-
cates an error in the digital signal.

Turn all mains switches off and re-
move the digital audio cables. Run
balanced XLR cables from your line
level analog audio source to the "AN-
ALOG INPUT" XLR connector on each
S30D unit.
Switch on the power and observe that
the mode indicator LEDs should turn
green. The output levels can be ad-
justed at the "LEVEL CONTROL" trim-
mer.

The response of the system may have
to be adjusted to match the acoustic
environment. The adjustment is done
by setting the tone control switches
on the rear panel. The tone controls
are in five groups: Treble, Mid and
Bass Level, which work in 1 dB steps
and Bass Tilt and Bass Roll-Off, which
work in 2 dB steps. The factory set-
tings for these are 'ALL OFF' to give
a flat anechoic response. See Figure
6 for suggested tone control settings
in differing acoustic environments.
Figure 7 shows the effect of the con-
trols on the anechoic response. Al-
ways start adjustment by setting all
switches to "OFF" position. Then set
only one switch to "ON" to select the
required response curve. To obtain
an accurate attenuation value, no more
than one switch within a switch group
should be set to "ON" at the same
time.

Avoid mounting Genelec S30D mon-
itors directly on the console top. In-
stead, position the speakers slightly
behind the console by using floor
stands or wall mounts. This minimiz-
es sound colouring reflections from
the console surface.

To produce a true and accurate ster-
eo or multichannel image the moni-
tors must have exactly similar fre-
quency responses, and they shall be
located at identical distance from the
listener. When placed in a room mon-
itor responses change due to reflec-
tions of the sound waves from the
room’s boundaries. Place the moni-
tors at the same height and also at
