Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the HAFLER
TRM10.1/TRM12.1
reference monitor, the world's finest
brand in professional audio equipment.
The
TRM10.1
(

onitor) is an amplified 10" subwoofer monitor. The
TRM12.1
is an amplified 12"
subwoofer monitor. Both models offer unmatched quality and performance in a truly professional grade product. The
TRM10.1/TRM12.1 are great for Professional Studios, Digital Work Stations, Broadcast Booths, and Home Project
Studios.
Although we realize a professional such as yourself already knows a thing or two about pro audio, we urge you to read
this manual to at least humor our technical writer. For ease of use, this manual is organized into three main sections:
Installation, Operation,
and
Service Reference
. “Installation” covers the set-up of your new HAFLER equipment in the
system. “Operation” covers the controls and how to use them for optimum performance. “Service Reference” contains
field service information useful for technicians and engineers.

The
TRM10.1/TRM12.1
monitors utilize a specially designed amplifier featuring our innovative
trans•
ana
circuitry.
This topology, with its unique input-to-output configuration (derived from our patented
trans•
nova
circuit), employs
MOSFETs in both the power supply and output stages that result in superior sound quality.
The amplifier features an auto turn-on/off circuit that eliminates the need for a conventional power switch. Input sig-
nals can be fed into the amplifier via Balanced XLR jacks (where long cable runs are used) or into standard unbal-
anced RCA jacks (where short cable runs are used). Each pair of inputs is combined into a mono-summed signal
before being fed into a 4th order Linkwitz-Riley low-pass crossover, variable from 40Hz–140Hz. If selected, the signal
is then fed into the Phase Warp that allows the phase of the signal to be adjusted at 90˚, 180˚, or 270˚ increments.
The
TRM10.1
features a 10" (254mm) low frequency transducer with a cone made from cellulose fibre. A santoprene
rubber surround that is immune to temperature fluctuations controls woofer damping and reduces 2nd harmonic dis-
tortions for a very wide and flat frequency response. The transducer also features a 2" (51mm) 4-layer copper voice
coil wound on an aluminum voice coil former and is driven by a 30-oz. magnet. The
TRM12.1
features a 12"
(305mm) low frequency transducer made with the same cellulose fibre cone and santoprene rubber surround. The 12"
transducer features a 2.5" (63.5mm) 4-layer copper voice coil wound on an aluminum voice coil former driven by a
102-oz. magnet.
Both the
TRM10.1
and
TRM12.1
are downfiring subwoofer models and are vented using a radiused Aerovent for
reduced turbulence. The cabinet is made from acoustically dead 19mm MDF material and is internally packed with
damping material to eliminate internal resonance.
