M-Audio BX5 user manual XLR Balanced Connection, TRS Balanced/Unbalanced Connection

Correct Power Operation: Since the BX5 contains its own amplifier, it must be connected to a power outlet using the detachable AC cable provided. Before connecting power, please make sure that the Voltage-Select Switch located on the speaker’s rear panel is set to the appropriate position, as described in the rear-panel features list appearing earlier in this manual.

WARNING! - Use of improper Voltage-Select Switch combinations may result in hazardous conditions and/or damage to speaker components not covered by speaker warranty.
