T SERIES MANUAL [ENGLISH]
5. AUDIO CONNECTIONS AND
LEVEL SETTINGS
Your T Series monitors need no external amplification, thanks to their built-in amplifiers.
The monitors can be directly connected to mixing consoles and both balanced and
un balanced I/O boxes for DAWs. And because T Series monitors automatically accept
AC mains voltages ranging from 100 to 240 V, at 50/60 Hz, you don’t have to fuss with
selecting a correct voltage switch setting for safe operation.
On the rear panel of your T Series monitor, an XLR connector and RCA jack respectively
accept balanced +4 dBu and unbalanced -10 dBV nominal input levels. The XLR
connector’s wiring follows the industry standard convention: Pin 1 is ground, Pin 2 is
positive [hot] and Pin 3 is negative [cold]. A 2-way switch selects which connector—XLR
or RCA—receives the input signal.
To begin using your T Series monitors, follow these simple steps:
→ Before making any connections to your T Series monitors, make sure the power
switch for each monitor is turned off and each monitor’s Level control knob is set to
its “0 dB” setting. Also make sure the equipment you will connect to your monitors is
turned off and its output-level controls, if any, are turned all the way down.
→ If you’ll be sending balanced +4 dBu analog audio from your mixer, I/O box or other
equipment to your T Series monitors, use the monitors’ respective XLR connectors
and set their +4 dBu/-10 dBV switches to the +4 dBu setting.
→ If you’ll be sending unbalanced -10 dBV analog audio from your mixer, I/O box or
other equipment to your T Series monitors, use the monitors’ respective RCA
con nectors and set their +4 dBu/-10 dBV switches to the -10 dBV setting.
→ After all connections are made to your T Series monitors, turn on the equipment
fee ding them.
→ Flip the power switch for each of your T Series monitors to the ON position.
→ Set the output level controls, if any, on the equipment feeding your monitors to their
nominal level or to where you normally set them.
