The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

HS80M/HS50M/HS10W Owner's Manual 7 English The "Sweet Spot" English For both stereo and surround mixing your position in relation to the main front speakers -- the "sweet spot" as it's often called -- should be one apex of an equilateral triangle. In other words your distance from either speaker should be the same as the distance between the two speakers. The speakers should also be "toed in" to the corresponding 60° angle so that the drivers are aimed directly at the listening position. The height of the speakers should be such that the tweeters are roughly aligned with your ears (this is 60° because high frequencies are the most directional). Fine-tuning for Stereo The speaker LEVEL controls should be set to the same level. A setting of about 12 o'clock corresponds to a nominal input level of about +4 dB. Since no subwoofer is being used in this setup, set the LOW CUT switch to "FLAT". When set to "-2 dB" the EQ MID switch attenuates the midrange frequencies slightly to produce a somewhat "softer" sound that may be better for listening or long monitoring sessions. For accurate monitoring, however, set the MID switch to "0". Set the ROOM CONTROL switch according to the distance your speakers are placed from the nearest wall (refer to "Proximity to Walls and Corners", above). For accurate monitoring set the HIGH TRIM switch to "0". This switch can be set to "-2 dB" to attenuate the highs slightly if you find the sound too bright. 8 HS80M/HS50M/HS10W Owner's Manual Adding a Subwoofer Even if you don't plan to set up a surround system, adding a subwoofer can be a real advantage for stereo mixing. If you can't hear the extreme low end there's not much you can do to make it sound great. The extended bass response provided by a good subwoofer can indeed help you to improve the overall quality of your mixes. The location of your subwoofer is not as critical as the main speakers, because frequencies below around 200 Hz -- the region your subwoofer will be working in -- aren't directional. To say it another way, the ear can't locate the source of such low frequencies, so in theory the subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room. In reality it's a good idea to place the subwoofer on the floor somewhere between the main front speakers at the same distance from the listening position as the main speakers, but it doesn't have to be dead center. Fine-tuning for Stereo + Subwoofer Set the HS50M or HS80M LEVEL control to about 12 o'clock to set the nominal input level to approximately +4dB. If you're using the HS50M set the HS10W LEVEL control to about 10 o'clock, and if you're using the HS80M set it to about 11 o'clock. You can then fine-adjust the HS10W LEVEL control as required. Another approach would be to adjust the HS50M/HS80M output level to achieve the desired relativebalance with the subwoofer. Start with the HIGH CUT control set at its center click position, which corresponds to a HPF frequency of about 100 Hz. The HIGH CUT frequency can be adjusted later to achieve the smoothest integration with the HS50M or HS80M speakers.
