Input Gain Knob

: This knob adjusts 

the gain level of the XLR/TRS 

3

and RCA 

2

 inputs.  The gain is at 

minimum when the knob is turned fully 
counter-clockwise; the gain is set to its 
maximum level when the knob is turned 
fully clockwise.

RCA Input

: This connector accepts 

line-level signals from audio sources 
with unbalanced RCA-style outputs.

3

        

XLR/TRS Input

: This “combo” input 

jack accepts both XLR and 1/4”  
TRS-type connectors.  Connect your 
audio interface, mixer, or other line-level 
audio source to this jack.

  ▶

     

NOTE:

 The XLR/TRS and RCA inputs are summed (i.e., mixed together) before arriving 

at the CX amplifier and it is possible to have two sound sources connected to a speaker 
at the same time.  However, it is recommended that you do not play audio through both 
connectors simultaneously as this may overload the inputs and result in clipping (distortion) 
at the inputs.

 Power Switch

: This switch powers your 

CX monitors on and off.

5

  

 Power Connector

: This socket accepts 

a standard IEC-type power cable.

6

  

 Input Voltage Selector

: This recessed 

switch adjusts the input voltage from  
100-120V or 220-240V and allows your 
CX monitor to be used worldwide.  Make 
sure this switch is set correctly for your 
country to prevent damage to the speaker.

 

TIP:  

Power outlets in North 

America, Japan, and many parts 
of South America usually supply 
between 100V and 120V whereas 
outlets in Europe and most of Africa 
and Asia provide between 220V and 
240V.  If you are not sure about your 
region, be sure to check your power 
outlet’s rating and set the Input 
Voltage selector before connecting 
and switching on your CX monitors.
