Controls
The power switch and the XLR-input are located on the rear panel.
The monitor offers control of important parameters on its front panel (see fig.).
Standby switches audio on and off. Please note that this switch does not separate the
monitor from the mains. The operating state is indicated by a LED that will be lit green
with the system ready to play, yellow if the monitor is turned off. With the rear power
switch turned off, no LED will light.
The monitor has an overload protection circuit. In case the input signal is too high, the
circuit decreases the sound level by 20 dB to protect the speakers. The red Overload-
LED will blink as long as the protective action is active. The maximum input level is
reached when the Overload-LED starts blinking. Excessive use of the monitor in this
state will likely result in a reduced lifetime of the components. If possible, turn down
the source signal level immediately.
INPUT GAIN
To match the monitor’s input to the source signal level, the input
sensitivity can be varied by -10 dB to +10 dB.
HIGH GAIN
The voltage gain of the tweeter amplifier and thus the complete tweeter level can be
varied in a ±4 dB range. This is a considerable change in the sound characteristic and
should be used with caution. In case you have a somewhat damped room or want to
compensate for recording anomalies, this control will serve you well.
