Configuring Studio Monitors With 500R8
500R8’s speaker outputs have been designed to provide the maximum dynamic range,
headroom, and fidelity to offer the most accurate sound reproduction for mixing. Due to its
high-output and wide-bandwidth design, you will need to configure your speakers’ volume in
order to get the most out of the monitor controller and its controls.
Due to this design, you may find that once 500R8 is connected to your speaker outputs, the
Monitor Level control is extremely sensitive and very small movements can cause quite a
change in volume. In order to get the most out of 500R8’s monitor level control and configure
your speakers to work best with 500R8, we recommend that you do the following:
1. Connect 500R8’s Speaker A outputs to your desired studio monitors.
a. If they are powered monitors, you can connect the XLR’s directly into the back of
the speaker.
b. If they are passive monitors and require an amplifier, then you can connect the
XLR’s directly into the power amplifier.
2. Reduce the speaker/amplifier volume to its
minimum setting.
3. Play source material/reference music out of
500R8’s DAW returns and position the front
panel monitor controls to the 12 o’clock
position as detailed in the following diagram.
a. The LED meter should be showing
good level and flickering around -9 to
-12dBFS.
4. With the music playing, slowly increase the
volume of your studio monitors until you
reach a volume that will be your ‘loudest’
setting when you are mixing.
a. It’s important not to upset the
neighbours during this task, however it
is equally important to find a volume
that is loud enough whilst remaining
comfortable.
5. Once you have found a volume that works for
you, reduce the Monitor Level control of 500R8’s monitor controller to achieve your
standard listening volume.
Now your speaker outputs and speakers themselves have been setup to allow for the greatest
dynamic range whilst also giving you more control over the volume of your speakers using the
monitor level control.
If you are using both Speaker A and Speaker B Outputs, then you can follow the same process
for Speaker B.
