Multimedia Monitors w/ Bluetooth® Hookup Diagrams continued... CR4BT / CR5BT CR4BT / CR5BT The illustration above shows a typical use for CRBT Series Multimedia Monitors. Everyone needs tunes while working, right...or is it just me? In this example, simply connect the cable from the computer’s 1/8" output jack to the L/R RCA inputs of the powered CRBT Series Multimedia Monitor. If you prefer to use 1/4" inputs instead of RCA inputs, that option is available, too.
6 3 3. Signal Inputs Connect the line-level signal from a computer, mixer, or other signal source to one pair of these input jacks. There are two types of input connectors to choose from: 1/4" line-level signals driven by balanced or unbalanced sources or RCA line-level signals driven by unbalanced sources. Since these are connected together electrically, do not connect more than one signal at a time to the input jacks.
Multimedia Monitors w/ Bluetooth® 4. Powered Speaker Position Select Switch Here you get to decide if the powered monitor is to be positioned on the left side (switch up) or right side (switch down) of the desk. One convenience is that it keeps the power cord, front and/or rear panel connections from crossing your work space. Additionally, it doesn’t discriminate between right or left-handed users. Simply set it up to suit your preference. Front Panel Description 7.
