Protection
The BM5 mkIII monitor has several built
in protection systems to reduce the risk of
hazard or damage due to overloading.
Bothpowerampliershavethermalprotec-
tion. This activates if a problem should oc-
cur, and helps protect both the electronics
and the loudspeaker drivers.
The woofer channel has a built in limiter
that protects the woofer unit from too much
excursion. It works by reducing the gain of
the circuit when a certain threshold level is
reached.
Positioning
The BM5 mkIII is designed as a precision
near-eldmonitorandcanbeequallywell
used in both stereo and surround setups.
Optimal performance is achieved when po-
sitioned 1 to 3 meters from the listener.
It can be placed on stands or on the me-
ter bridge of a console provided that the
meterbridgeissufcientlysturdy.Forbest
results, the speakers should be aimed to-
wards the listener in both vertical and hori-
zontal planes.
