USER CONTROLS:
POSITION SWITCH: Close-in (“near-field”) monitoring reduces the impact of room acoustics on the signal,
and provides great detail. Mid-field listening reveals aspects of recorded ambience and is more representative
of end-use. However, a speaker’s upper frequency power response changes with distance, due to room
influences and air absorption. The M-00 provides a switch marked “NF/MF”, that optimizes the speaker’s
response for the desired listening distance (Figure 4). Near-field (NF) is defined as 1 meter or less from the
monitor to the listener, and this setting gives a gentle reduction in power output above 3 kHz, with a maximum
cut of -3 dB at 20 kHz.

SENSITIVITY: This function provides the user a choice of two input sensitivities; +4dB and -10dB for noise-
free, gain matching with a variety of source components. Typically, the +4dB position is utilized for
professional equipment, while the -10dB position is suitable for consumer equipment like CD players, pre-
amplifiers and computer soundcards. These exact signal levels apply to the balanced inputs. A slightly higher
overall gain is provided via the unbalanced Phono(RCA) input.
AUTO POWER SWITCH:
When this switch is set to “On”, the Auto Power circuit senses the incoming signal and activates the internal
amplifier, eliminating the need to turn the M-00 on and off manually. If no input signal is present for
approximately 10 minutes, the amplifier goes into a low-power standby mode until an input signal is received.
The LED on the front of the speaker will turn red to indicate the stand-by mode, changing to green when power
is restored. To use the Auto Power function, the main AC Power Switch must be left in the “On” position. If
manual operation of the AC Power Switch is desired, simply leave the AUTO POWER SWITCH set to “Off”.
MONITOR PLACEMENT:
The M-00 is intended to provide consistent performance over a wide range of placement situations. This is
accomplished through the use of electrical controls, wide dispersion drivers and carefully chosen crossover
characteristics. Never the less, it is always worth investing time and effort experimenting with optimum
loudspeaker placement. The M-00’s should be set up equidistant from the listening position; the left speaker
and right speaker should be at the same relative positions with respect to the primary listening area. This is
