Features
1.
Power Connector: This socket accepts a standard IEC-type
power cable.
2.
Input Voltage Selector*: This recessed switch adjusts the
input voltage from 100-120V or 220-240V and allows your
SM50 monitor to be used worldwide. Make sure this switch is
set correctly for your country to prevent damage to the speaker.
3.
Power Switch: This switch powers your SM50 monitors on and
off.
Note: This product does not have a standby/low-power mode.
4.
XLR+1/4" Input (+4 dBu)**: This input jack accepts line-level
signals from a balanced XLR or 1/4" TRS connector. Connect
your audio interface, monitor controller, mixer, or other line-
level audio source to this jack.
5.
RCA Input (-10 dBV)**: This connector accepts line-level
signals from audio sources with unbalanced RCA-style outputs.
6.
Volume Knob: This knob adjusts the gain level of all three of
the rear panel inputs (XLR, 1/4" and RCA). The gain is at
minimum when the knob is turned fully counter-clockwise; the
gain is set to its maximum level when the knob is turned fully
clockwise; additionally, the gain is set to unity when at the
12:00 position. Adjust this knob to a position where you are
working with a comfortable range of travel on the output volume
knob of your connected audio interface, monitor controller, or
mixing console.
7.
LF Cutoff Switch: This switch sets the low-frequency cutoff
point of your monitor. See the About the Rear-Panel EQ
Contour Switches section to learn more about this switch.
8.
MF Boost Switch: This switch allows you to contour the mid-range response of your monitor to your specific
studio. See the About the Rear-Panel EQ Contour Switches section to learn more about this switch.
9.
HF Trim Switch: This switch allows you to adjust the high-frequency response of the monitor to your specific
studio. See the About the Rear-Panel EQ Contour Switches section to learn more about this switch.
10.
Proximity Control Switch: This switch allows you to set a "shelf" EQ to tailor low-frequency response to your
specific studio. See the About the Rear-Panel EQ Contour Switches section to learn more about this switch
* Power outlets in North America, Japan, and many parts of South America usually supply between 100V and 120V,
whereas outlets in Europe and most of Africa and Asia provide between 220V and 240V. If you are not sure about
your region, be sure to check your power outlet's rating and set the Input Voltage selector before connecting and
switching on your SM50 monitors.
** The XLR/TRS and RCA inputs are summed (i.e., mixed together) before arriving at the SM50 amplifier. We
recommend not playing audio through both connectors simultaneously, which may overload the inputs and result in
clipping (distortion) at the inputs.
Declaration for Always-On Products for Regulation (EC) No. 1275/2008:
To provide audio signal at the noise floor level, this studio monitor speaker product should be in the "always on"
status for terminal users to use. The requirement of a power management function as provided under point 2(d) of
Annex II would be "inappropriate for the intended use'' of the equipment. This product is an exception to the design
requirements as provided under Annex II, thus an "off," "standby" and/or "another condition" mode and a power
management function is not appropriate for its intended use. When not using this product, we suggest switching it
off.
