POWER SWITCH
Turns power to the speaker ON or OFF. Rock the switch to the
right to turn the power ON, or to the left to turn the power OFF.
The logo on the front panel will light when the power is ON.
CAUTION
• Turning the power switch ON and OFF in rapid succession
can cause the device’s electronics to malfunction. Please
wait for 3 seconds or more after turning the power OFF
before turning it ON again.
• Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still
flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are
not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

AC IN CONNECTOR
Connect the supplied power cable here. First connect the
power cord to the speaker, then insert the power cord plug
into the AC outlet.
SETUP
In this section we’ll look at the general procedure for connecting
and setting up a monitor speaker system. This is just an example
though, so feel free to set up your own system in the way that
best serves your personal listening needs.
CABLES
You’ll need to acquire appropriate cables to connect the MX
series monitor speakers to your audio interface or other source
equipment.
• Short, high-quality cables
Use high-quality cables of the shortest practical length.
The longer the cable, the more chance there is that noise
will creep in to degrade your sound.
• Balanced cables
Balanced cables are more resistant to noise than unbal-
anced cables. If you have to use unbalanced cables be-
cause the source equipment only has unbalanced outputs,
be sure to use the shortest possible unbalanced cables.
For connection to a balanced phone jack input.
OR
For connection to an unbalanced RCA input.
CONNECTING TO AN AUDIO INTERFACE
When connecting an audio interface to MX series speakers,
connect the audio interface output connectors directly to the
desired input connectors. Normally you’ll connect to the LINE
OUT 1 and 2 , although that might depend on the specific audio
interface and DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) settings used.
