be used in conjunction with the wall hanging key holes. The 2029A Digital can be placed horizontally or vertical- ly. Enclosed is also a bag containing four large and four small friction pads. The larger pads are for the base of the 2029A Digital, and if placed horizon- tally, the smaller pads may be used on the side. There are recesses on the speaker cabinet where the pads fit.

6. Maintenance

There are no user serviceable parts are in the unit. Maintenance or repair of the 2029A Digital units should be done by qualified service personnel only.

front wall, the monitors should be

 

placed either nearer than 1m or further

 

than 3m from the front wall. Placement

 

close to the front wall (<1m) will boost

 

low frequencies, and the tone controls

 

should be adjusted appropriately (see

 

figure 6).

 

The monitors should be aimed toward

 

the listening position. This maximizes

 

the ratio of direct sound to reflected

 

sound and the listener is able to hear

 

more of the material and less of the

 

room effects. Subjectively this is per-

 

ceived as cleaner sound and superior

 

stereo imaging.

 

Mounting Options

 

Figure 8 shows the three possibilities

 

for mounting the 2029A Digital. On the

 

base of the monitor is a 3/8" UNC thread-

 

ed hole which accommodates a stand-

 

ard microphone stand. On the rear

 

there are two methods to suspend the

 

loudspeaker. An Omnimount® size 50

 

bracket can be used, two M6x10 mm

 

screws are required. 4 mm diameter

7. Safety Considerations

The 2029A Digital has been designed in accordance with international safe- ty standards. To ensure safe operation and to maintain the instrument in safe operating condition, the following warnings and cautions must be ob- served:

Servicing and adjustment should only be performed by qualified service per- sonnel.

Do not use this product with an un- earthed mains cable as this may com- promise electrical safety.

This equipment is capable of produc- ing sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB, which may cause permanent hearing damage.

Free flow of air behind the loudspeak- er is necessary to maintain sufficient cooling. Do not obstruct airflow around the loudspeakers.

Do not insert any objects through the bass reflex ports on the face of the unit, as this may damage the electronics in- side the loudspeaker.

Do not run an analog audio signal to the digital input RCA connector. Do- ing so may overload your audio equip- ment output and cause them perma- nent damage.
