(Optional) Speaker Stands Installation For optimal performance of the StudioPro 3, please read the following directions carefully before installation. Connections: Connect the RCA outputs of your StudioPro 3 to the corresponding computer sound card, portable music player, or other audio device. We recommend that you use the supplied cables (or cables of equal or higher quality) for all connections. Be sure that the StudioPro 3 monitors are powered off before making any connections. If you need to connect the StudioPro 3 speakers to a device with 1/4" outputs, like the M-Audio MobilePre USB, you can purchase an adapter cable that will have the 1/4" connection on one end and the RCA connection on the other end. Correct Power Operation: Since the StudioPro 3 contains amplifiers, it must be connected to a power outlet using the detachable AC cable that is provided. Before connecting power, please make sure that the On/Off/Volume switch of the StudioPro 3 is rotated all the way counterclockwise to the off position. Precautions WARNING!- Use of improper Voltage may result in hazardous conditions and/or damage to speaker components not covered by speaker warranty. In order to minimize vibrations and maximize physical stability, we recommend you use the provided acoustic/traction pads on the bottoms of the StudioPro 3 monitors and on the bottoms of the speaker stands (if you choose to use the stands). Acoustic/Traction Pads 7 Use the transparent 1/8" mini cable included in the StudioPro 3 package to connect the Left and Right speakers via the 1/8" mini jacks on the back of each speaker. Speaker Wire Connections Before connecting the StudioPro 3 monitors, make sure the power from the computer or other output device has been turned off and the StudioPro 3 system is also turned off. Plug the RCA cable to the corresponding output connectors of a computer sound card, portable music player, etc. You can also use the black 1/8" stereo mini cable to connect a secondary audio device to the "Aux" input on the front of the StudioPro 3. Connecting to a Computer Sound Card or Other Audio Output Device This 2-position switch provides a subtle increase in bass response. The On mode increases the low-frequency gain slightly via the woofer and bass-reflex port. The Off mode produces a natural, even response for most listening conditions. Setting the "Bass Boost" EQ Switch Please see Appendix C for the "Bass Boost" frequency response curve. 8 StudioPro 3 User Guide English Placing the StudioPro 3 The way you position your speaker monitors can greatly affect the way they sound. Please refer to the following description for correct StudioPro 3 placement. The two speaker monitors and the listener should align to form an equilateral triangle. 2. Ideally, the tops of the woofers should be level with the listener's ears. Given the compact size of the StudioPro 3 monitors and typical desk heights, achieving this alignment may be difficult. Fortunately, we have provided speaker stands that can help point the StudioPro 3's directly at the listener. Figure 1: StudioPro 3 monitor at ear-level (no stand).
