English The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

• Set your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion. • Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there. BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.S001a_A1_En [For American Users and Canadian Users] Read these instructions. Keep these instructions. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions. Do not use this apparatus near water. Clean only with dry cloth. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

10) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

Installation and Connections How to Install

Speakers should ideally be located at 30° angles from the listening position (together forming a total 60° angle), and rotated inward to face the listening position.A speaker’s playback sound is delicately influenced by conditions in the listening room. To produce optimum listening conditions, take due consideration of the conditions of your installation location before beginning actual installation. Place the speakers at ear level. 60 °

The left and right speakers should be placed at an equal distance from and bilaterally symmetrical to the listening position.

Do not block the heat sink section on the back. The resulting reduction in heat radiation capabilities can lead to a degradation in performance or cause malfunctions. You may use the rubber legs and cushions supplied as the situation demands with the unit to tilt the speaker surface upward or place it vertically. Angling Speakers

When using a speaker stand etc. to place the speaker surface verticallyAttach the supplied rubber legs (thicker ones) to the indents on the bottom surface.

When placing on a desk etc. with the speaker face tilted upwardAttach the supplied cushions (thinner ones) to the bottom of the unit in order to prevent slippage. Connections

When making or changing connections, always turn off the power and disconnect the power cord from its outlet. Also, be sure to read the operating instructions for the other components to which you are connecting these speakers. Do not plug in the power cord until all other connections have been completed. Use only the furnished accessory power cord.• Make sure to set the sound level at an appropriate level as the input signals to the XLR INPUT connector and RCA INPUT jack will be mixed together, affecting the sound level. WARNING Store small parts out of the reach of children and infants. If accidentally swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.D41-6-4_A1_EnEn

English Equalizer Settings The Tone Control Function The unit has functionality to adjust frequency response in accordance with the location and environment in which it is placed.
