chapter 3
Setup and Operation
This chapter provides instructions for placing, connecting and configuring DSM1 speakers.
Correct placement, connection, and configura- tion ensures optimal performance and safe oper- ation of your speakers.
Getting Started
Unpacking the Speakers
After opening the box, be sure to reach down the sides of the speaker to lift it out of its box. This protects the HF and LF drivers on the front from being dented or punctured, and prevents any possible damage to the switches, connec- tors, and other controls on the back of each speaker.
Reusing the Speaker Packaging
Retain your packaging for future use. The car- tons are durable and reusable, and can be used to safely transport your speakers.
Setting Up the Speakers
Speakers should always be placed to provide bal- anced, accurate sound in your preferred mixing position. The exact location depends on the size and acoustics of the environment where you are using the speakers.
In all installations, observe the following guide- lines:
•Place the speakers on quality stands, or place them in a stable location where they are suitably isolated from vibration
•Do not soffit mount or otherwise install the speakers in an enclosed space. The speakers require free air flow around the back panel.
Do not restrict air flow around the speakers.
