7.   Network & Power Amplifiers

The  active  equalization,  crossover  networks,  and  power  amplifiers  for  the  StudioPro  3  are  specially 
designed  for  this  woofer  and  tweeter.  The  network  distributes  low-,  mid-,  and  high-frequency  audio 
signals to the proper components in order to minimize distortion and to achieve a balanced sound.     

8.   (Optional) Speaker Stands

We have included a pair of desktop/bookshelf speaker monitor stands with your StudioPro 3 system.  
They help point the StudioPro 3 monitors directly at the listener, optimizing the 

sweet spot

 for listening.  

High-frequency audio signals radiating from the tweeters tend to be fairly directional, so by using the 
stands you can help focus those signals for exceptional audio imaging.  

Installation

For  optimal  performance  of  the  StudioPro  3,  please  read  the  following  directions  carefully  before 
installation.

Precautions

Connections: 

Connect the RCA outputs of your StudioPro 3 to the corresponding computer sound card, 

portable music player, or other audio device. We recommend that you use the supplied cables (or cables 
of  equal  or  higher  quality)  for  all  connections.  Be  sure  that  the  StudioPro  3  monitors  are  powered  off 
before making any connections.

If you need to connect the StudioPro 3 speakers to a device with 1/4" outputs, like the M-Audio MobilePre 
USB, you can purchase an adapter cable that will have the 1/4" connection on one end and the RCA 
connection on the other end.

Correct Power Operation: 

Since the StudioPro 3 contains amplifiers, it must be connected to a power 

outlet using the detachable AC cable that is provided. Before connecting power, please make sure that 
the On/Off/Volume switch of the StudioPro 3 is rotated all the way counterclockwise to the off position.  

WARNING! 

- Use of improper Voltage may result in hazardous conditions and/or damage to speaker 

components not covered by speaker warranty.

Acoustic/Traction Pads

In order to minimize vibrations and maximize physical stability, we recommend you use the provided 
acoustic/traction pads on the bottoms of the StudioPro 3 monitors and on the bottoms of the speaker 
stands (if you choose to use the stands).
