Positioning of Subwoofer in the room drastically affects the overall frequency response and sound level of the system overall.

A certain degree of testing and experimentation is often required to achieve the optimum positioning of the Subwoofer. Onse the studio monitor system is placed in the desired location, you should now connect the PM0. 5-Sub MK to the mixing console or digital workstation. The gain control on the back panel allows continuously variable adjustment to match most input types from -10dBV to +4dBu. The input is electronically balanced and is compatible with unbalanced sources that may require an adaptor. The connection of PM0. 5-Sub MK and the console/digtal workstation should be done in the following order. Step 2: Confirm that all gain controls, on the monitors and sources, are set to the minimum Setting. Now connect the PM0. 5 MK satellite speakers to the PM0. 5-Sub MK outputs (signal cables are not provided with the products). Step 4: Power up all the source equipment and turn the PM0. 5-Sub MK and PM0. 5 MK satellite speakers. Step 5: Set the gain of both satellite speakers to the medium setting. [. . . ] Another important tip to keep in mind when wiring your system is to route all line level cables away from the AC and other power sources, this will reduce the probability of having AC hum emanating from your studio monitors.
