TUNED REFERENCE USER GUIDE Thank you for choosing the Tuned Reference™ Biamplified Direct Field Monitor System. To get the most from your new monitors, please take a moment to read this manual and familiarize yourself with the product’s features, set-up, and use. About the Tuned Reference Series Our engineers have spent years designing transducers, studio electronics, and high performance studio monitoring systems—including some of the most popular professional speakers used today.
TUNED REFERENCE USER GUIDE 3 Setup You’ll notice that the Tuned Reference monitors are physically identical. When used in a stereo configuration, there is no physical or acoustic distinction between the left and right speakers. Note, too, that the cabinets can sit vertically or horizontally without regard for performance, so long as both cabinets are situated in the same direction.
TUNED REFERENCE USER GUIDE most accurate stereo reproduction. If you need a wider sweet spot to allow for greater listener movement or for group monitoring, face the speakers in a slightly more open position, but never more than necessary. Finally, if you must mount the speakers substantially above or below ear level, you will also need to tilt the cabinets downward or upward to keep the driver components directly facing you.
TUNED REFERENCE USER GUIDE 5 The Line 2 input connector is hardwired in parallel with the Line 1 input connector, so either may be used as an input or as a pass-through connection. Input specifications apply equally to both inputs.

TUNED REFERENCE USER GUIDE Input Sensitivity This control is used to compensate for different signal levels that appear at the input. The control has a 20dB range; when set at maximum (MAX), 0.5V RMS input at the balanced ins or 0.25V RMS at the unbalanced in will produce full amplifier output. Note that when the signal appearing at the input is too hot, the amplifiers may overload, causing distortion. If this occurs, attenuate (decrease) the Input Sensitivity by turning the control counter-clockwise.
