Audio Input is via a fe-
male XLR connector.
The Input is electroni-
cally balanced with fol-
lowing connections. The connections are
printed on the rear for easy reference.
If your signal source is unbalanced, usual-
ly the unused pin is connected to ground.
This is normally done inside the connecting

use only good quality screened cables and
connectors.
Switches
Ontherearofthemonitoryouwillndve
switches for setting up the monitor for opti-
mum performance in different acoustic en-
vironments. Each switch is explained in the
following.
4. Highpasslterswitch
This switch sets the lower cut-off frequency
of the monitor. It is used to match the moni-
tor to a subwoofer. You can select between
60 Hz or 80 Hz X-over. Flat is used in case
you do not use a subwoofer to assist your
monitors. When used with a subwoofer it is
recommended to use either 60 Hz or 80 Hz
lter, thus allowing a higher undistorted
sound pressure level.
5. Level trim
Use this switch to match the sensitivity of
the BM 6A mkII monitor to your source.
High-output Source: If your source has a
high output, set switch to the -10 position to
reduce sensitivity by 10 dB.
Low-output source: If your source has a
low output, set switch to the +4 position to
gain 4 dB more sensitivity.
6. LF
This switch controls the bass gain level us-
ing shelf-type EQ. The level can be set to
+2dB,0dBor-2dB.Thislterisusedto

positioned close to wall or corner, use the
-2 dB setting. If positioned far from walls
use the +2 dB or 0 position, depending on
other equipment, and personal taste.
7. MF
