Conversely, if your mixes are consistently too bright, then adding some additional high frequency energy in the monitors satisfies your ears, and the resultant mix has less HF content.

The timbre of your monitorsaffects the way that yourmixes play on other equip-ment. Remember that the

monitors have a mirroring effect on the mix; if the monitors make something too loud in the mix it usually results in not enough of that thing on tape.

Start with the response modification switches in the factory recommended settings (see Quick Start Section ). After prolonged listening, if you notice a trend in your mixes, perhaps making some small adjustments as suggested here will help.

It’s a real rush to mix really loud. But remember that the resulting mix only sounds good when you play it at least that loud. However strange it may sound, mixes made at lower levels sound even better when played loud; perhaps even a bit bigger than life.

Get that sound level meter out. Decide what level you’re going to mix at and use the meter to help keep your mixing at that level. Your ears will thank you, and your mixes will be better for it.

POWER MODE

This 3-position switch turns the amplifiers on or off, or sets them to automatic mode. Use this switch to set the HR824s to your preferred mode of operation, and use the front panel power switch for convenience.

•In the STANDBY position, the power amplifiers are in Standby mode and produce no sound. Low-level circuitry is still active, but the power consumption of the circuitry is minimal (8 watts).

•Flip the switch to the ON position and thepower amplifiers are live and operatenormally. (The front panel power switch must also be ON.)

•Since the power supply and low level circuitry are already active (assuming the speaker is plugged into a live outlet), this is an “instant on” function.

•When it’s in the AUTO ON position, the amplifiers turn on and off depending on the presence or absence of an input signal. An
