Using the Remote Control

You can take advantage of many of the R10s’s powerful fea-

tures of the using the infrared remote. You can mute and con-

trol the level of the sub, and mute or control the over-all sys-

tem level using the R10s’s remote control. You can even lower

the volume of the over-all system using the DIM function for

those times when you need to talk to someone in the control

room without disturbing the groove. Make sure that the two

AAA batteries are installed and then follow the sections below

that detail the operation of the remote control.

Using the SYSTEM VOLUME controls

The UP and DOWN SYSTEM VOLUME controls are used

to adjust the overall level of the monitor system, which

includes the R10s and the connected satellite speakers.

If you want to make the monitor system louder, aim the

remote control at the R10s’s IR window and press the

SYSTEM VOLUME UP control. To lower the over-all SYSTEM

VOLUME, point the remote control at the R10s’s IR win-

dow and press the SYSTEM VOLUME DOWN control.

Using the SUB MUTE button

Once you have a good listening level set for the monitor

system you can audition your mix with and without the

subwoofer by using the SUB MUTE button located in the

upper right hand corner of the remote control. If you

want to mute the subwoofer, point the remote control at

the R10s’s IR window and press SUB MUTE. At this point,

take notice to the lighted, red MUTE LED located in the IR

window indicating that the sub is off. Now, press the SUB

MUTE button again to un-mute the subwoofer and notice

that the red MUTE LED is now off.

Thanks to the R10s’s intelligent crossover design, the

outputs to the satellite speakers are retuned to full range

when the subwoofer is muted using the SUB MUTE but-

ton. When you un-mute the subwoofer by pressing the

SUB MUTE button again, the outputs to the satellite

speakers are once again passed at the crossover point set

by the rear panel FREQUENCY control knob.

Using the SUB VOLUME controls

The UP and DOWN SUB VOLUME controls are used to

adjust the level of the subwoofer. If you want to make the

subwoofer louder, aim the remote control at the R10s’s IR

window and press the SUB VOLUME UP control. To lower

the sub level, point the remote control at the R10s’s IR

window and press the SUB VOLUME DOWN control.

Using the Remote Control

Using the SYSTEM MUTE button.

The SYSTEM MUTE button is used to turn off the

entire monitor system including the sub woofer and

satellite speakers. Aim the remote control at the

R10s’s IR window and press SYSTEM MUTE to defeat

the mix. When you want to get back to listening,

press the SYSTEM MUTE button again to un-mute

the system.

Using the DIM control

The R10s incorporates a very useful feature; “DIM”

which let’s you instantaneously lower your mix by

20dB. This convenient facility lets you pick up a

phone or carry on an argument…ah, conversation

with your mates without having to (necessarily) yell

over or mute the mix. Using the DIM helps keep the

creative juices going even through the normal dis-

tractions, so you don’t disturb the groove. It is also

extremely useful for checking your mix at low levels,

a practice which many good engineers use as a tech-

nique to hear where things are sitting in the mix.

To use the DIM control, aim the remote control at

the R10s’s IR window and press SYSTEM DIM and the

level will be lowered by 20dB. When you want to get

back to the normal listening level, press the SYSTEM

DIM button again.
