Speaker Wire Connections - M-Audio AV 40 Guia Del Usuario

Installation
For optimal performance of the AV 40, please read the following directions carefully before installation.
Precautions
Connections: Your AV 40 monitors have a variety of inputs for use with a multitude of devices. Soundcards or other
devices with RCA line outputs can be connected to the RCA inputs on your left speaker's
back panel. Professional audio devices with balanced or unbalanced 1/4" outputs should be
connected to the 1/4" TRS back panel inputs. If your soundcard or portable music player
has an 1/8" output, you can connect it to the front panel aux input, using the provided 1/8"
to 1/8" cable.
Correct Power Operation: Since the AV 40 contains amplifiers, it must be connected to a
power outlet. Before connecting power, please make sure that the On/Off switch on the
back of the AV 40 is set to the off position.
Acoustic/Traction Pads
In order to minimize vibrations and maximize physical stability, we recommend you use the
provided acoustic/traction pads on the bottoms of the AV 40 monitors.

Speaker Wire Connections

Use the red and black cable included in the AV 40 package to connect the Left and Right speakers
via the red/black spring-clip terminals on the back of each speaker.
Connecting to a Computer Sound Card or Other Audio Output
Device
Before connecting the AV 40 monitors, make sure the power from the computer or other output
device has been turned off and the AV 40 system is also turned off.
Connect the 1/4" or RCA input jacks to the corresponding output connectors of a computer sound
card, portable music player, etc. You can also use the 1/8" stereo mini cable to connect a secondary
audio device to the "Aux" input on the front of the AV 40.
Placing the AV 40
The way you position your speaker monitors can greatly affect the way
they sound. Please refer to the following description for correct AV 40
placement.
1. The two speaker monitors and the listener should align to form an
equilateral triangle.
2. Ideally, the tops of the woofers should be level with the listener's
ears.
