VOLUME CONTROL/INPUT SELECTOR Turn on main power switch on rear of unit. Speaker will be in STANDBY mode (LED indicator ring will glow red). Push once to exit STANDBY mode. Turn volume control knob left or right to decrease/increase volume. Push again for INPUT mode. Continue to push to cycle through INPUT modes. LED indicator ring will change colors to indicate input source. Push and hold knob for 2 seconds to return to STANDBY mode.
INSTALLING AND POSITIONING The close-field monitor, by definition, reduces room interaction. This can be compared to the conventional stereo configuration or the large monitor arrangement in a recording studio where sounds emanating from the monitor or reflecting off ceilings, walls, and floors, all greatly affect the sound quality.
INSTALLING AND POSITIONING SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT(optional) Ensure the proper phase settings(0 or 180) on subwoofer. Then further adjust the sub’s low pass filter, so that it blends seemly with your ASM5 monitors. When you have finished adjusting the phase and cross-over settings, re-adjust the level of the sub to your personal preference.
