3. Postavljanje

3.1 Postavljanje

Proper placement of your HS8 monitors is crucial for optimal sound reproduction. Position the monitors to form an equilateral triangle with your listening position. Ensure the tweeters are at ear level. Avoid placing monitors directly against walls or in corners, as this can exaggerate bass frequencies. If wall placement is unavoidable, utilize the ROOM CONTROL feature on the rear panel.

3.2 Veze

Connect your audio source to the HS8 monitors using either XLR or TRS phone jack cables. These inputs accept both balanced and unbalanced signals. Ensure secure connections for optimal audio quality.

3.3 Priključak za napajanje

Connect the supplied power cables to the AC IN port on the rear of each monitor and then to a suitable power outlet. Use the power switch to turn the monitors on or off.

4. Operativni

4.1 Level Control

The RAZINA control knob on the rear panel adjusts the overall output volume of the monitor. Start with a low setting and gradually increase to a comfortable listening level.

4.2 Room Control

The KONTROLA SOBE switch allows you to compensate for bass buildup that can occur when monitors are placed close to walls or in corners. Adjust this switch to -2dB or -4dB to reduce excessive low-frequency response, optimizing the sound for your specific room acoustics.

4.3 High Trim

The VISOKI TRIM switch provides adjustment for the high-frequency response. Use this to fine-tune the treble output to suit your listening preferences or to compensate for overly reflective or absorbent room characteristics. Options typically include +2dB, 0dB, and -2dB.

5. Značajke

• Newly Developed Transducers: Achieves astonishingly smooth responses over a wide range of bandwidth.
• Kontrole i povezivanje: Features two response controls with detailed settings (ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM) that allow adaptation to the surface acoustics of rooms of varying shapes and sizes. XLR and TRS phone jack inputs accept balanced or unbalanced signals.

• Check if the power cable is securely connected and the monitor is switched on.
• Verify that the audio input cables are correctly connected to both the monitor and the audio source.
• Ensure the LEVEL control on the monitor is not set to minimum.
• Provjerite razinu glasnoće vašeg audio izvora.

7.2 Izobličeni zvuk

• Reduce the input level from your audio source or the LEVEL control on the monitor to prevent clipping.
• Provjerite ima li oštećenih audio kabela.
• Ensure the ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM settings are appropriate for your room and not causing unwanted frequency boosts.

7.3 Electrical Interference/Hum
