NEUTRIK® COMBO CONNECTOR

The Neutrik® Combo connector accommodates

XLR, 1/4” TRS and 1/4” phone plugs. Please note

that PIN 2 is hot! If you are using an

unbalanced connection make sure to wire Sleeve

and Ring together at the source end. This can be

accomplished by using the appropriate cable or

adapter.

Installing Your Monitors

The close-field monitor, by definition, reduces room interaction. This can be compared to

the conventional stereo configuration or the large monitor arrangement in a recording

studio where sounds emanating from the monitor or reflecting off ceilings, walls, and floors

greatly affect the sound quality. By shortening the path to the ear, the close-field monitor

offers a tremendous amount of flexibility, allowing the sound to become less susceptible to

differing room conditions. The ability to adjust the high and low frequency characteristics is

equally important to help compensate for room irregularities and achieve the highest sound

accuracy. (See HF Adjustments and LF Adjustments sections in this manual. Note- These

adjustments are only available on the VXT 6 and VXT 8 .)

A room that is heavily dampened would typically require a high frequency boost. Likewise,

reducing the high frequencies can alter a reverberant room. The low frequency can be

adjusted to compensate for the first reflection (bounce) off the woofer, whether it comes

from the floor, as in the typical stereo setup, or from the surface of the mixing board (when

the monitor is placed atop the meter bridge).

Placing the monitor close to a rear wall, sidewall, or a corner will reinforce the low

frequencies. Generally speaking, if you move them two to three feet away from walls and

corners, you'll hear less low frequency interaction (excluding any interaction with the

mixing console). But when ideal positioning isn't practical, low frequency control is the

solution. Lets say you have two different studios in your facility; in one room the monitors

are close to the wall, in the other they're further away from the wall. Simply adjust the low

frequency on each monitor and you'll have the same sound in each room. This comes in

handy if you're tracking in room A and mixing down in room B.

Positioning Your Monitors

Positioning the monitors correctly in the studio is critical to their performance. Basically,

they should be placed in such a way that the listening position is fully “covered” with all

speakers resting on the same horizontal plane. A good way to test the monitor for its

imaging capability is to play back a CD that you are very familiar with. You can adjust the

angle of each speaker by listening for dead spots—where you'll notice an immediate

decrease in high frequency content.
