Setting up - Introduction

To make your setup operate as intended correct cabling is essential. Choose one of the described setups and connect exactly as illustrated. The following section is a Quick-guide to get your system up and running. For instructions on how to place and calibrate monitors please read pages 17-39.

Setups including Subwoofer:

To activate the subwoofer, please choose an appropriate X-over frequency in the Bass Management menu. To read more about Bass management and subwoofer placement, please refer to page 24.

General Setup Procedure

Decide which Setup you are going to build.

Connect monitors exactly according to the illustrations on the following pages.

Power up all monitors.

Set one of the Master-monitors as System Controller according to the Setup illustrations. This is done by leaving the TC LINK button on the rear panel on OUT position.

NOTE: There can be only ONE System Controller in a setup.

After “power-up” the System scans all connected monitors every 5 seconds.

Set tasks for all monitors via the System Controller unit via the following procedure:

-Enter Setup menu by pressing ENTER, ARROW DOWN, ENTER.

-Select the setup type you are using.

-Press ENTER again and the System will generate Pink Noise in one of the monitors.

-Select appropriate task for the monitor currently fed with Pink Noise using the ARROW keys and press ENTER to confirm.

-Continue allocating tasks for all monitors in the system.

Your monitor system is now set up ready for calibration and fine-tuning.

These procedures are described on pages 21-24.

The setups will ONLY operate correctly if connected according to the illustrations!

In terms of design, the PMN monitors boast a sleek and modern aesthetic that fits seamlessly into any studio environment. The cabinet construction employs advanced materials and techniques that minimize resonance, thus reducing unwanted coloration in sound. The unique curved shape of the cabinets is not only visually appealing but also supports optimal acoustic performance by enhancing sound dispersion.

Another notable characteristic of the Dynaudio PMN is its versatility. The monitors are equipped with multiple inputs, allowing for seamless integration into various set-ups, whether in a professional studio or a home listening environment. This flexibility is further complemented by adjustable bass and treble controls, empowering users to tailor the sound profile to their specific requirements.

Dynaudio has also incorporated advanced technologies such as room correction in certain PMN models, which enables precise calibration according to the acoustics of the room. This feature ensures that audio professionals can rely on consistent and accurate sound reproduction regardless of their monitoring environment.

Overall, the Dynaudio PMN series represents a blend of pioneering audio technology, meticulous craftsmanship, and user-focused design. For professionals seeking precise monitoring solutions for music production, film scoring, or any audio-related projects, the Dynaudio PMN monitors provide an exceptional listening experience that stands the test of time.
