5 Use and Operation
The ON3 has been designed for ease of operation, with intuitively designed features and
controls. Following are general use and operation recommendations that will help you get the
most enjoyment out of the ON3 speakers.
5.1 Power
During normal use, set the physical power switch on the back of the ON3 to the “On” position,
and use the remote control to turn the speakers on or place into stand-by mode. This can also
be accomplished by pressing the volume dial on the side of the ON3.
If the speakers will not be used for a while, such as when going on vacation, turn the power
switch on the back of the ON3 to the “Off” position to conserve power.
5.2 Setting Volume
Use the remote control or side volume dial to change the ON3’s playback volume. There are 40
volume levels and the volume dial will flash once for each step. If maximum or minimum volume
has been reached, further adjustments will have no effect and the volume dial will not flash. The
ON3 can be quickly muted or unmuted using the remote control.
The remote control also provides two quick volume settings equivalent to 25% and 75% of the
maximum volume. These volume shortcut buttons can be used to quickly jump to a low or high
volume setting. For most signal sources such as computers, turntables, and smartphones, it is
recommended that the volume is set no higher than 75% to avoid excessive background noise.
Use a volume setting higher than 75% only if more playback volume is desired.
5.3 Setting EQ
The ON3 has two built-in EQ profiles and can be selected by pressing the corresponding EQ1 or
EQ2 buttons on the remote control. The EQ profile can also be toggled between EQ1 and EQ2
by pressing and holding the side volume dial for 2 seconds. There is no indicator to show which
EQ profile is currently configured. The two EQ profiles differs in the following manner:
EQ1 is a flat EQ profile, with the speaker adjusted for a smooth and flat frequency response.
This EQ profile provides the most accurate reproduction of music and is suitable for users who
desire a flat frequency response.
EQ2 provides a tilted frequency response, where the bass is enhanced and a gradual decrease
in response towards higher frequencies, to a maximum of -3dB at 20kHz. This EQ profile
presents a warm and relaxed sound signature and is suitable for listeners who find EQ1 too
bright. Note that if the speakers are placed near the corner of a room, EQ2 profile may over
emphasize the bass response. In this case, switching to EQ1 will provide a more balanced
sound.
