PLACEMENT
The SRM350v2 active speakers are designed to sit on the
floor, a tabletop, or to fit on a standard tripod speaker stand.
They can also be suspended by the rigging points, which
requires installing the optional hanging bracket on the top
and/or bottom of the cabinet (
SRM350v2 Bracket Kit:
Part
No. 0016404).
NEVER
attempt to suspend the SRM350v2
active speakers by their handles.
You can lay the cabinet down on its side and use the
SRM350v2 as a floor monitor. The asymmetrical trapezoidal
shape of the cabinet provides a perfect angle for aiming up
toward performers from the front of the stage.
As with any powered components,
protect them from moisture. If you are
setting them up outdoors, make sure
they are under cover if you expect rain.
The SRM350v2 generates a magnetic
field. Do not place it closer than two
feet (0.6 meters) from any TV set or
computer monitor. Check the screen
for any change in color or distortion.
Do not place any magnetic audio or video tapes or
computer discs near the SRM350v2.
Room Acoustics
The SRM350v2 active speakers are designed to sound as
neutral as possible; that is, to reproduce the input signal as
accurately as possible,
monitoring
the sound rather than
changing it.
Room acoustics play a crucial role in the overall
performance of a sound system. However, the wide high-
frequency dispersion of the SRM350v2 helps to minimize
the problems that typically arise.
Balanced XLR Connectors
CONNECTIONS
The SRM350v2 has a combination female XLR and 1/4"
TRS input that accepts a balanced or unbalanced mic- or
line-level signal. When connecting a balanced signal, be
sure it’s wired per AES (Audio Engineering Society)
standards:
XLR
TRS
Hot (+)
Pin 2 Tip
Cold (–)
Pin 3 Ring
Shield (Ground)
Pin 1 Shield
There is also a male XLR connector labeled THRU. This
allows you to connect more than one SRM350v2 to the
output of your mixing console. Simply plug the signal
source output into the first INPUT jack, and patch that
speaker’s THRU jack to the next INPUT jack, and so on,
daisy-chaining multiple speakers (see diagram on page 7).
The THRU jack’s signal comes after
the MIC/LINE switch, but before the
LEVEL control. If the MIC/LINE switch
is pushed in on the first SRM350v2, the
signal at the THRU jack is boosted by
40 dB to a line level. Therefore,
leave
the MIC/LINE switch out on the following SRM350v2s in the
chain.
