SYSTEM CONTROL/

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

6System Volume

The input sensitivity is adjusted (counterclockwise reduces sensitivity) with the rear panel mounted system gain control. Adjustment range is from - 80db to + 6db, which should suffice for most conditions. Normally adjustments would only be made if you’re using your monitor in a sur- round system and need to balance levels or if your monitor send is to hot and not adjustable.

7 HF Adjustment

High Frequency Adjustment is through a rear panel mounted 4-position rotary switch. Range of control is +1db, flat, -1db, or -2db Shelving above 2khz. Factory setting for your iKEY Audio powered Monitor is flat (switch is the 0db position). Room acoustics may dictate which type of adjustment you nee to make to retain a flat frequency response from the monitor.

8 Crossover

This adjusts the crossover frequency for the built-in 24db/octave vari- able crossover. The crossover frequency can be adjusted from 50Hz to 110Hz. Frequencies below the crossover frequency are sent to the sub- woofer, and frequencies above the crossover frequency are sent to the LEFT and RIGHT OUTputs, which are connected to the main satellite speakers. Set the crossover frequency to the lowest frequency response rating of the main /Satellite speakers.

9 Phase

This switch reverses the polarity of the signal going to the subwoofer amplifier by 180 . It has no effect on the signal at the LEFT and RIGHT OUT or the MASTER OUT. There is no right or wrong setting for this switch. Listen to the overall blend of the subwoofer with the rest of the system, and select the switch position that gives you the best sound.

10 Auto Power

If set to the AUTO position the subwoofer will go into STANDBY mode (mute) if Idle for more than 45 minutes it resumes working immediately after an input signal is received. If set to the ON position it will be on constantly, and the OFF position allows you to use the subwoofers power switch Manually.

11 Peak LED

The Peak LED will illuminate if the input channels are being overloaded.

Speaker Placement

Positioning your monitors correctly in the studio is critical to their perform- ance.Typically, they should be placed so that the listening position is fully “covered” with all monitors resting on the same horizontal plane. A great way to test a monitor for its imaging capability is to play back a CD or DVD recorded acoustically in stereo . We recommend acoustic music because it represents the spectrum of sound. You can adjust the angle of each monitor by listening for dead spots. keep in mind, changing the angle or position of a monitor will change the sound.
