Operation
It is important to observe the instructions and safety precautions in this
manual to ensure a trouble-free operation of this equipment!
Placing
Always ensure that the Monitor is placed on a stable base, on the floor or
mounted on a loudspeaker stand.
Use the built-in flange to set on a tripod stand, the threaded socket (under
rubber cap) on top for flying flanges, or the supplied monitor stands.
Please ensure that the loudspeaker stand (tripod) is strong enough to support
the weight of the monitor.
Do not place the equipment close to television or computer screens, as they
can be adversely affected if too close to the magnetic field of the loudspeakers.
Serious damage can be caused by a falling loudspeaker box.
Connections and Set-up
Caution!
Always turn all level controls to Min. before switching the amplifier on!
Set the tone controls –Treble & Bass – to the middle position.
Set the master Volume to approximately middle position.
Microphone
A lo-impedance microphone can be connected using a balanced (XLR) cable
A hi-impedance microphone with an unbalanced (jack) cable.
Plug the microphone into the appropriate socket and slowly
turn the Level control up while
speaking into the microphone until the volume is loud enough – too much Level can cause
the loudspeaker to feedback (a loud squealing!) and should be avoided, as this can cause
damage to the loudspeaker membrane (and your ears!).
Line In
Connect a sound source to the Line Input and slowly
turn the level control up until the
volume is loud enough.
Line Out
Connect, using a XLR or jack cable, to the Line Input of another McCrypt Active Monitor or
similar equipment.
Ground Lift
When the Active Monitor is used alone, the Ground Lift switch should always be Off.
However, should a low buzzing noise (ground loop) occur when connected to other
equipment, this can be eliminated by switching to On. If the problem persists, seek
professional advice.
Volume & Tone
Use these controls to create an optimum sound reproduction. Always turn the controls slowly
as extremes of sound can damage the loudspeaker membrane (and your ears!)
