GROUND LIFT

The GROUND LIFT switch internally separates pin 1 of the XLR input socket from the electron-
ics chassis ground .

If there is humming or buzzing noise coming from the loudspeaker, first search for the cause 
of the noise:

 

X

Disconnect all input cables from the loudspeaker .

If the noise goes away, it is probably coming from the audio source or source cabling . It might 
be possible to eliminate the noise by disconnecting the ground from the input signals (activat-
ing ground lift) .

To activate the ground lift:

 

X

Reconnect the signal cables and set the GROUND LIFT switch to 

Lift

 .

For safety reasons, the electronics chassis ground is always connected to the ground 
contact of the power supply . Never disconnect the ground contact of the power cable 
from ground .

Resetting the loudspeaker settings

You can use the 

MA 1 – Automatic Monitor Alignment

 software to configure the loudspeaker 

beyond what is available on the backplate . 

To reset these internal loudspeaker parameters to the factory settings:

 

X

Set the INPUT SELECT switch to ANALOG, S/PDIF L or S/PDIF R .

 

X

Switch on the loudspeaker .

 

X

While the logo is flashing during the boot up phase, move the CONTROL switch up and down 
repeatedly . Continue until the logo turns solid white for a few seconds .
The logo begins quickly flashing red for a few seconds before turning white again .

Firmware update

Firmware updates are done via the 

MA 1 – Automatic Monitor Alignment

 software . When you 

open the software, it scans the network for loudspeakers and checks if the firmware is up to 
date . If a firmware update is required, you will be notified . Follow the instructions shown on 
screen . 

It takes approximately 10 seconds per loudspeaker to update the loudspeaker firmware .

The AES67 firmware update may take up to 30 minutes .
