 Operating your DT-air Active Studio Monitor System

DT-air Control & Connector Panels

The DT-air's rear panel is where you will make your connections for 
both AC power and audio signal. The rear panel also contains the 
controls to make adjustments to the overall volume and frequency 
response curve. The following section details the rear panel controls 
and connections.

Tips: You may control your DT-air monitor system (up to 7.3 setting) with 

TM

our innovative "Aircon " wireless controller. For details, please contact 
our dealers or visit www.iconproaudio.com.

Powering the DT-air Active Studio Monitor System

Connect the unit to an AC power supply since the DT-air is an active 
studio monitor with an on-board power amplifier. Make sure that the 
main power switch is set to the off position and connect the supplied 
IEC power cable to the AC inlet.

Things that go Hum!

When running power cables, be careful not to run the AC power cords or 
AC extension cords in parallel to your input cable. This will help reduce 
any AC hum that can be picked up. If you have to cross them then do so 
at a 90 degree angle for the least amount of induced hum. Using the 
DT-air's balanced input connector will greatly protect against the induced 
hum thanks to the common mode rejection (the induced hum is phase 
cancelled) provided by the balanced input circuit.

LF, MF & HF controls

The DT-air's rear panel provides 
three important controls for adjusting 
the overall sound of the monitor's 
bass, midrange and treble. Adjust 
these controls to your preferred 
setting. If you take your monitors to 
other studios you may find these 
controls extremely useful in adjusting 
the sound for the new room.
