Setting Bass and Treble Controls on Your Receiver or Amplifier

Normally we recommend that you set the Bass and Treble controls on flat or 0 dB. This will give you the most linear and natural sound. Also, if your amplifier or receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recom- mend that you leave it flat. The reason for this is that we have spoken with many consumers about what they thought were improperly

sounding speakers when in fact the problem was misadjusted tone controls. When in doubt, leave them flat; this almost always sounds the best.

Using the Built-In Keyhole Wall Mount

Your StudioMonitors have a built-in keyhole wall mount on the back. If it has not been installed, install it over the recess that you can feel behind the grill cloth on the upper back of your StudioMonitor using the screws enclosed with the larger circular part of the keyhole facing down making sure that the screws are securely and firmly screwed in. Use a toggle or molly bolt to hold the screw which the

keyhole mount will hang on making sure that it is rated to support at least 2 times the weight of the speaker. Do not use on unanchored

screws in the wall.

The StudioCinemaTM Home Theater Systems

A complete StudioCinema Home Theater System combines a pair of StudioMonitors with a perfectly matched Definitive center channel speaker (or an additional StudioMonitor used as a center channel), perfectly matched Definitive rear and/or side surround speakers, and in most cases a separate subwoofer for the LFE channel. These superb systems offer exceptional home theater performance with all decoding technologies. Remember, to achieve proper blending and full perfor- mance, it is essential to use only Definitive speakers to complete your home theater system.
