The StudioMonitors are mirror imaged (serial numbers have either
an A or a B) with the side mounted, pressure coupled subwoofers
located so they may be set up with both woofers facing in (toward
each other) or both woofers facing out (away from each other). (Feel
the side
of
the speakers to determine which side the woofer is on.)
Facing the woofers in
or
out will vary the sound somewhat and which
way is best will vary with your room. Again, experiment to determine
the best location for the speakers.
If
you use a StudioMonitor for a
center speaker, you may use either a speaker A or speaker B, and it
may be positioned either vertically or horizontally.
If
it is used hori-
zontally, make sure the subwoofer is facing up.
Speaker
Break-In
Your StudioMonitors should sound good right out
of
the box; howev-
er, an extended break-in period
of
20-40 hours or more
of
normal play-
ing is required to reach full performance capability. Break-in allows the
suspensions to work in and results in fuller bass, a more open "blossom-
ing" midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.

Hooking Up Your StudioMonitors
Your StudioMonitors each have one pair
of
gold 5-way binding
posts. Normally, you will hook up the left main/front channel red(
+)
terminal
of
your receiver or amplifier to the red(+) terminal
of
your
left StudioMonitor and the left main/front channel black(-) terminal
of
your receiver or amplifier to the black(
-)
terminal
of
your left
StudioMonitor. Connect the right channel main/ front channel red(
+)
terminal
of
your amplifier
or
receiver to the red(+) terminal
of
your
right StudioMonitor and the black(-) terminal
of
the right main/front
channel
of
your receiver
or
amplifier to the black(-) terminal
of
your
right StudioMonitor.
If
your receiver/decoder has a bass management
system and you are using a separate subwoofer, set bass management
to "Small" left and right main speakers and "Yes" subwoofer.
If
you
are not using a separate subwoofer, set bass management to "Large"
left and right main speakers and
"No"
subwoofer.
