Connecting
The
Speakers
Mains
Ensure that you have the correct mains cable
for your region. The power supplies in the loud-
speaker have switching inputs that automatically
detect the incoming voltage and will adjust to
either 120V or 220V, depending on your location.
Plug in the provided AC cable to the loudspeaker
and then to the outlet. Turn the speaker on to
ensure that they power up correctly by looking to
see that the power LED is lit on the back panel.
Once this is confirmed, turn the speakers off
before connecting audio signals.
Standby Mode
The loudspeakers have a standby mode that
helps conserve energy when they are not in use.
On – When set to ON, the speakers remain
powered on until the mains switch is turned off.
Auto – When set to AUTO, the speakers will
automatically enter a power-saving mode when
not in use that shuts down the amplifier section
until audio is detected at the input.
Audio Signals
There are two physical inputs you can choose:
• RCA-type unbalanced
• XLR balanced or unbalanced
The balanced XLR connection is preferable as it
can reduce noise and hum from the surroundings
but both connections can provide a high quality
input signal. Connect the outputs of your mixer,
audio interface or monitor controller to the loud-
speaker inputs.
Caution
Before sending audio to the loudspeakers, set
the sensitivity to -6dB and adjust the outputs of
your mixer or audio interface to a low setting and
gradually turn up the signal until you get a rea-
sonable volume. This will prevent any accidental
overload of the loudspeakers.
