Features
1. 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.
2. Low Frequency Knob: This knob boosts or
cuts the low-frequency response of the
monitor, allowing you to tailor the response of
the monitor's woofer to the acoustics of your
monitoring environment. The low-frequency
response can be boost or cut by 6 dB, at a
center frequency of 100 Hz. When the knob is
set to the center position, no boost or cut is
applied.
3. Mid Frequency Knob: This knob boosts or
cuts the mid-frequency response of the
monitor, allowing you to tailor the response of
the mid-range driver to the acoustics of your
monitoring environment. The mid-frequency
response can be boost or cut by 6 dB, at a
center frequency of 1 kHz. When the knob is set to the center position, no boost or cut is
applied.
4. High Frequency Knob: This knob boosts or cuts the high-frequency response of the monitor,
allowing you to tailor the response of the tweeter to the acoustics of your monitoring
environment. The high-frequency response can be boost or cut by 6 dB, at a center frequency of
10 kHz. When the knob is set to the center position, no boost or cut is applied.
5. XLR Input (+4 dBu): This input jack accepts line-level signals from a balanced XLR connector.
Connect your audio interface, monitor controller, mixer, or other line-level audio source to this
jack.
6. 1/4" Input (+4 dBu): This input jack accepts line-level signals from a balanced 1/4" TRS
connector. Connect your audio interface, monitor controller, mixer, or other line-level audio
source to this jack.
7. RCA Input (-10 dBV): This connector accepts line-level signals from audio sources with
unbalanced RCA-style outputs.
8. EQ Bypass Switch: This switch allows you to toggle all three bands of equalization for the
speaker on/off with a single control. When the switch is set to "bypass", no equalization will be
applied to the speaker drivers, no matter what position the equalization knobs are set to.
9. Low Cutoff Switch: This 3-position switch allows you to further tailor the low-frequency cutoff
point of your M3-8 monitor, by filtering audio below a certain cutoff frequency.
• Flat: No low-cut
• 80 Hz: Audio material below the frequency of 80Hz is filtered
• 100 Hz: Audio material below the frequency of 100Hz is filtered
10. Input Voltage Selector: This recessed switch adjusts the input voltage from 100-120V or 220-
240V and allows your M3-8 monitor to be used worldwide. Make sure this switch is set correctly
for your country to prevent damage to the speaker.
11. Power Switch: This switch powers your M3-8 monitors on and off.
12. Power Connector: This socket accepts a standard IEC-type power cable.
