1. Low Match
This is a high pass filter. The numbers above the switch tells
you the crossover frequency points. While use this unit with a
subwoofer, you can select a suitable frequency to match the ad-
ditional subwoofer.
2. Room Compensantion
User can alter the output volume of woofer depending on its setup
position. Positioned real close against the wall, this unit will have
stronger low frequency. It is necessary then, to set the level of the
low frequency output at -2dB to achieve the best balance between
high and low frequency. When located at the corner, it is suggested
to set this level at -4dB. Basically, the longer distance your monitor
is to the wall, the more you need to boost this bass gain.
3. High Match
Use this to adapt the speaker' s frequency response to the damp-
ing characteristics of the control room.
4. Power Mode
You can use this switch to select between "ON", "AUTO ON" , and
"OFF" . When set to OFF, this unit is compelety switched off and
cannot be activated by the power switch. When the switch is set to
AUTO ON, this unit will automatically operate as soon as a signal
is sent to its input. On the other hand, this unit will automatically
deactivate when the signal is paused for more than five minutes.
When the switch is set to ON, this unit is activated all the time and
can be turned off only by the power switch.
5. Input Connectors
The balanced 1/4" and XLR inputs are available for users to
connect various ouput devices to the P Series Studio Monitors.

MOUNTING THE MONITOR

VERTICAL / HORIZONTAL MOUNTING
The speakers are normally delivered for vertical mounting. De-
signed for nearfield monitoring, this studio monitor requires shorter
distance than traditional monitors from its location to your ears,
which means the reverberation time and general acoustics of the
listening room are less critical. Hard surfaces will, however, reflect
the higher frequencies, therefore try to avoid putting this monitor
close to side walls. The control surface of your mixing console
may also pose a problem. To minimize control surface reflections,
position your monitor as shown in the figure below, using the meter
bridge or rear panel to block sound from both drivers reaching the
control surface. Make sure that there is nothing between your
ears and the speakers. If your console has no meter bridge, try
positioning the monitor higher or further behind the desk. Active
series is designed to be used in both the upright and horizontal
position. If you want to place two Active series horizontally, it is
recommended you put the HF drivers on the outer edge. The low
frequencies of this unit will generally sound better if the cabinet is
against a wall. If possible, provide a rigid surface (eg.shelf) that
is separate from the mixing console and other equipment. The
speakers should roughly form a 60 degree angle at the listening
position, and should be angled towards the listener(s).
CONSOLE TOP MOUNTING
If the active studio monitor series are used for console top
mounting, it is recommended not to mount the speakers directly
on the console; instead, position the speaker slightly behind the
console by using floor stand or wall mount behind the console.
This prevents the reflection from the console surface from color-
ing the sound.

OVERLOAD INDICATOR

The speaker is provided with one bi-colored indicator on the bot-
tom right corner of the horn. When lit in green, it indicates that the
speaker is ready for use. The indicator lighting up in red means that
the amplifier is overload or the driver protection circuit is activated.
In either cases, reduce the signal level so that the red LED stops
blinking. If the red indicator stays on constantly, it means that the
amplifier thermal protection is activated. Let the amplifier cool down
and check that the ventilation at the rear side of the speaker is
not blocked. There should be a clearance of more than 4 inches
(10cm) between speaker rear and any solid surface.
