WhatContenu de I'emballage 15

Thank you for choosing the StudioPro 4 professional desktop multimedia audio monitors. Top recording engineers and producers in studios around the world use M-Audio monitors. Now, with the StudioPro 4s, you can enjoy the same professional standard of audio quality right on your desktop.

The StudioPro 4 has been designed and tested by veteran audio engineers to meet your needs in the desktop audio monitoring environment. It is focused on the functional goal of delivering pure, original sound without any additional coloration, to let you hear the music the way the artist recorded it. The StudioPro 4 monitor is self-powered, directly accepting a line level signal from a variety of sources.

The StudioPro 4 is designed to overcome all the limitations of conventional desktop monitors within the digital audio environment. The StudioPro 4s match a custom tuned cabinet, optimized woofer and tweeter and advanced crossover technology with plenty of power to insure the highest-fidelity sound available from audio monitors of their size. And M-Audio's proprietary OptImage wave guide tweeter technology assures improved and defined stereo imaging. The StudioPro 4s are the missing link for bringing your computer-based music, games and DVDs to life.

What's in the Box?

Your StudioPro 4 box contains:

• Two StudioPro 4 speakers (Left and Right)
• One speaker wire
  One 1/8-inch mini jack to RCA audio cable
• One detachable AC power cord
  Actual test results of your StudioPro 4s pair

StudioPro 4 Features

Woofer

The woofer unit is 4 inches in diameter, with a magnetically shielded curved cone (to protect your computer monitor from interference), a high-temperature voice coil and closed-cell foam damping. It is designed to deliver balanced mid- and low-frequency response. The design is used to accurately react to input signals, and to deliver even minimal input precisely, both while minimizing distortion.

Tweeter

By employing a specially developed 1-inch Mylar dome with protective magnetic shielding, the tweeter can deliver distortion-free sound and offer an extremely natural response. It minimizes reaction time, using a specially shaped Mylar dome for excellent delivery and minimizes resonance by adapting a unique internal damping technology. Also, incorporated is the Optlmage wave guide technology which improves stereo imaging.

Sub-Frequency Port

The hole in the rear panel is called a Sub-Frequency Port and is designed to discharge extreme low frequencies.

Mid-Boost Control

The back panel Mid-Boost control on the StudioPro 4s allows compensation for room EQ. Offering a great deal of control over the StudioPro 4s sound and presence, this makes the StudioPro 4 very versatile for use in different spaces.

Enclosure

Along with the other components, the StudioPro 4s enclosure plays an important role. In order to provide more stable performance, the enclosure employs a special high-density MDF and unique interior reinforcement designed to absorb vibration and impact generated under extreme conditions.

Network & Power Amplifiers

The active equalization, crossover networks and power amplifiers for the StudioPro 4 are specially designed for its woofer and tweeter. The network properly distributes low, mid, and high frequencies to the components in order to reduce distortion and sound loss, thereby achieving a naturally balanced sound.

Front and Rear Panel Features

Front Panel

This front panel image shows the Left Speaker. The front panel of the Right Speaker houses only the Woofer and Tweeter drivers.

1. Woofer Driver
2. Tweeter Driver
3. Blue Power LED: This LED indicates whether the speakers power is on or off

1. RCA Line Inputs (L & R): These jacks accept standard RCA input connections with unbalanced wiring. The included 1/8-inch mini-jack—to—RCA audio cable allows users to connect the StudioPro 4s to other equipment accepting 1/8-inch mini jack connections, such as a laptop or MP3 player.
   There are 2 RCA Line Inputs:
   L — Left Channel Input (White)
   R - Right Channel Input (Red)
2. Mid-Boost: Two selections are available for the Mid-Boost, "In" and "Out." The Out setting produces a flat frequency response curve, while the In setting gives an added boost in the mid-range frequencies.
3. Speaker Outputs: There is one spring action Speaker terminal Output for connecting the Left Speaker to the Right Speaker using the included speaker wire.
4. Power Receptacle: Accepts a detachable 2-circuit line cord in order to power the StudioPro 4 system.
5. Product Label: This label contains the model and serial number information.
6. Power Switch: This switch turns the StudioPro 4 system on and off. The on position is indicated by the white dot on the switch.
7. Sub-Frequency Port: This port aids in the reproduction of very low frequencies by discharging frequencies below 70Hz.

Installation

For optimal performance of the StudioPro 4, please read the following directions carefully before installation.

Precautions

Handling: Please do not touch the speaker cones (the Woofer or the Tweeter); this could damage the unit, affecting sound quality. The StudioPro 4 speakers are packaged in the box tightly, so your attention is required when taking the speakers out of the box. To avoid possible damage to the speakers, hold both sides of the unit (not the front or the back) in order to pull it out of the box. To avoid damage, the speaker cones should never be touched, even after they're out of the box.

Connections: Connect the StudioPro 4s RCA inputs to the corresponding computer sound card or game console outputs. We recommend that you use high-quality cables for input connections. Be sure that the StudioPro 4 is powered off before making any connections.

If you need to connect the StudioPro 4 speakers to a device with 1/4-inch inputs, like the M-Audio MobilePre USB, you can purchase an adapter cable that will have the 1/4-inch connection on one end and the RCA connection on the other end.

Correct Power Operation: Since the StudioPro 4 contains amplifiers; it must be connected to a power outlet using the detachable AC cable that is provided. Before connecting power, please make sure that the power switch of the StudioPro 4 is in the off position.

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

Speaker Wire Connections

Use the speaker wires included in the StudioPro 4 package to connect the Left and Right Speakers via the spring terminals.

Connecting to a Computer Sound Card or Game Console

Before connecting the StudioPro 4s, make sure the power from the output device has been turned off and the StudioPro 4 system is also turned off. Then plug the RCA cable

to the corresponding RCA output connectors of a computer sound card or game console.

Setting the Mid-Boost EQ Switch

This 2-position switch selects between the "In" and "Out" Mid-Boost modes. The Out mode produces a flat midrange response for normal monitoring and listening conditions. The In mode will move the sound stage forward toward your listening position. This is accomplished by producing a slight emphasis in the middle to upper frequencies.

Placing the StudioPro 4

Placing the speakers is one of the most important procedures in order to monitor (listen to) sound accurately. To monitor with the StudioPro 4s performing to their maximum capability, an appropriate listening environment and correct placement are required. Please read the tips which follow, in order to assure correct StudioPro 4 placement.

1. The two units and the listener should align to form a regular triangle. Refer to the following diagram.

1. Position the monitors so that the tops of the woofers are level with your ears in a normal listening environment. Refer to the following diagram.

1. 1. Place the StudioPro 4 Left and Right units vertically with the woofer on the bottom. Placing the StudioPro 4s monitors horizontally is not recommended.

Note: DO NOT place any obstacles that may block the flow of air in front or between the StudioPro 4 monitors. Also, remove reflective materials such as glass, mirrors or metal from the monitoring environment. PLACE THOSE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE PATH OF THE SOUND FROM THE StudioPro 4s.
