loudspeakers utilize state-of-the-art components (cast-basket

homopolymer-coned bass-midrange drivers, moving coil fer-

roﬂuid-cooled pure aluminum dome high frequency radiator,

wide range, high power handling and natural articulate clarity,

they are ideal for use as a left main, right main, and center speak-

conjunction with all surround sound decoding systems, including

Dolby Pro Logic*, Dolby Digital AC-3*, DTS*, Dolby Digital

EX*, as well as all 6.1 and 7.1 systems. In addition, the

StudioMonitors are ideal for use as rear or side surround speakers

in all surround sound decoding systems or as audiophile quality

main speakers in a high quality stereo system.

Unpacking Your StudioMonitors Please Inspect For Shipping Damage Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or concealed damage most likely occurred in handling after it left our plant and should be reported at once to your Definitive dealer or the delivery company that delivered your loudspeaker. Please unpack your system carefully. Save all cartons and packing materials in case you move or need to ship your system.

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.

Using Your StudioMonitors with a Separate Subwoofer If you use a subwoofer, we strongly suggest using a Definitive PowerField SuperCube, PowerField or ProSub in order to achieve the highest level of sound quality possible. With Dolby Digital Receivers and Decoders Most systems using the StudioMonitors with a subwoofer will be Dolby Digital Systems. Simply hook the StudioMonitors up to the left and right front (main) channels (assuming you are using them as front speakers).

Setting Bass and Treble Controls on Your Receiver or Amplifier Normally we recommend that you set the Bass and Treble controls on flat or 0 dB. This will give you the most linear and natural sound. Also, if your amplifier or receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recommend that you leave it flat. The reason for this is that we have spoken with many consumers about what they thought were improperly sounding speakers when in fact the problem was misadjusted tone controls.

Technical Assistance It is our pleasure to offer assistance if you have any questions regarding your StudioMonitors or their set-up.

Service Service and warranty work on your Definitive loudspeakers will normally be performed by the Definitive Technology dealer from whom you have purchased your loudspeakers.
