speaker and the signal source are powered off.
The 6010B has an unbalanced RCA 10 kOhm
audio input connector. The signal cables provided
with the loudspeaker allow it to be connected to
a line level audio source with either 3.5 mm Jack
or RCA type audio connectors. Suitable audio
sources are preamplifiers, computer sound cards,
portable audio players, "PRE OUT" connectors on
a Home Theater receiver etc.
As an active loudspeaker, the 6010B contains
its own amplifiers, no separate power amplifier is
needed. Never connect the 6010B to the loud-
speaker outputs of a power amplifier or an inte-
grated amplifier or receiver. Once the connections
have been made, the loudspeakers are ready to
be switched on.

The signal sensing Autostart function of the 6010B
powers it up when playback begins. Automatic
powering down of the loudspeaker happens one
hour after the playback has ended and the loud-
speaker goes to standby mode. The power con-
sumption in standby mode is less than 0.5 watts.
The loudspeaker will automatically and rapidly
start up once an input signal is detected from the
source.

Controls
The frequency response of the Genelec 6010B
can be adjusted to match the acoustic environ-
ment by setting the tone control switches on
the rear panel. The controls are "Bass Tilt" and
"Desktop Control". Table 1 shows some examples
of typical settings in various situations. Figure 4
shows the effect of the controls on the anechoic
response.
Always start adjustment by setting all switches
to "OFF" position. Measure or listen systematically
through the different combinations of settings to find
the best frequency balance.
Bass Tilt
The Bass Tilt control offers three attenuation levels
for the bass response of the loudspeaker, usually
necessary when the loudspeakers are placed near a
wall or other room boundaries. The attenuation levels
are -2 dB (switch 1 "ON"), -4 dB (switch 2 "ON") and
-6 dB (both switches "ON").
Desktop Control
The "Desktop" low frequency control (switch
3) attenuates the bass frequencies around
200 Hz by 4 dB. This feature is designed to com-
pensate for the boost often occurring in this fre-
