INSTALLATION
Each active studio monitor is supplied with an
integrated amplifier unit, a mains cable and an
operating manual. Once unpacked, place the
loudspeaker in its required listening axis. Before
connecting up, ensure that the mains switch is off.
Audio input is made via a balanced XLR and ¼”
TRS phone jacks, which operate in parallel. Once
connection has been made, the speakers are ready
to be powered-up. Before turning the unit on, make
sure the mains needed is identical with the AC outlet.
Setting the Volume
Adjustment of the volume of each speaker can be
made to match that of the mixing console or other
source, by using the input sensitivity control on the
rear panel. Turning the control counter-clockwise will
reduce the level and clockwise will boost the signal.
Setting the HF Control
The acoustic response of the system may also have
to be adjusted to match the acoustic environment.
The adjustment is done by setting the HF control
on the rear of the speaker. This will adjust high
frequencies on a curve between 8KHz and 20KHz,
resulting in an overall boost to high frequency sounds.
Set rotary control to the left to cut high frequency
sounds, and to the right to boost them.
