High-Frequency Response

ADDITIONAL TIDBITS OF WIDSDOM:

The S•8s are designed to provide a smooth frequency response throughout the mid and high range. Nevertheless, you may decide that you need a little more or a little less high frequencies in your monitors while you’re mixing. The HIGH FREQ equalization switch provides a gentle boost or cut in the frequencies above 5 kHz. Remember that boosting the high frequencies in the monitors can result in a duller mix, while reducing the high frequencies can result in a brighter overall mix.

Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods. Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for information on hearing protection.

When you shut down your equipment, turn off the S•8 studio monitors fi rst to prevent thumps and other noises generated by any upstream equipment from coming out the speakers. When powering up, turn on the monitors last.

Save the shipping boxes and packing materials! You may need them someday. Besides, your cat will love playing in them and jumping out at you unexpectedly. Remember to pretend like you are surprised!

Save your sales receipt in a safe place.

Also record both S•8 serial numbers in the space provided on the inside front cover, along with where and when you bought them.
