Congratulations on your purchase of the ART RM5 advanced active studio monitors! Use this quick start guide to help you get up and
running so you can enjoy your music with the exceptional clarity and impact that the RM5’s will provide.
Mounting the Stands - (see image on reverse)
Place the boxes face down on a soft surface to prevent scratching the front
face. If mounting the stand without the spacer, use 4 x short 10-32 screws for each stand. Positioning the spacer on the top 2 mounting
points will result in a monitor angle of 0 degrees.
Note: when using stand spacers, 2 long
10-32 screws must be used).
Balanced Left and Right Combi Jack Inputs -
The Combi Jack Inputs allow line level sources such as
passive mixer outputs, recording interface outputs or CD
players to be connected.
AUX in Stereo Input -
The stereo 1/8-inch Input allows digital
media players (laptops, tablets and smart phones) to be connected.
Full Space, 1/2 Space, 1/4 Space Switch -
This
feature compensates for possible low frequency re-enforcement
due to close proximity to walls. Place this switch in Full Space
mode if the RM5’s are not close to any walls. If the Monitors are
placed close to a back wall, place this switch in the 1/2 Space
mode. If the Monitors are placed close to both a back wall and
a side wall, place this switch in 1/4 Space mode.
Standby/Power Switch -
To turn the unit on, press
this switch in, the green LED will illuminate.
Level -
The level control adjusts the volume level of all inputs.
Mode Selector
Ref Mode -
Measures flat across the frequency spectrum.
HiFi Mode -
Boosted low end and enhanced highs make this mode ideal for general music listening.
Theatre Mode -
Boosted low end and enhanced mids make this mode
representative of the movie theatre experience.
Bluetooth™ Operation -
If connecting to the unit for the first time, press and
hold the Bluetooth™ switch for 4 seconds. Once you release, a new device will be
able to connect to the RM5. When turning the unit on, The RM5 is in Bluetooth™
Linkback mode by default, which attempts to connect to previously connected
devices. See the user manual for more detailed Bluetooth™ operation.
Auto Standby -
If there is no signal on any of the inputs for more than 20
minutes, the unit will enter Standby Mode. Once signal is applied to any of the
inputs, including Bluetooth™, the unit will immediately wake up.
