▶NOTE: The XLR/TRS and RCA inputs are summed (i.e., mixed together) before arriving at the CX amplifier and it is possible to have two sound sources connected to a speaker at the same time. However, it is recommended that you do not play audio through both connectors simultaneously as this may overload the inputs and result in clipping (distortion) at the inputs.

4Power Switch: This switch powers your CX monitors on and off.

5Power Connector: This socket accepts a standard IEC-type power cable.

6Input Voltage Selector: This recessed switch adjusts the input voltage from

100-120V or 220-240V and allows your CX monitor to be used worldwide. Make sure this switch is set correctly for your country to prevent damage to the speaker.

TIP: Power outlets in North America, Japan, and many parts of South America usually supply between 100V and 120V whereas outlets in Europe and most of Africa and Asia provide between 220V and 240V. If you are not sure about your region, be sure to check your power outlet’s rating and set the Input Voltage selector before connecting and switching on your CX monitors.
