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. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The above warning is located on the rear of the unit.

MSP7 STUDIO/MSP5 STUDIO/SW10 STUDIO Owner's Manual The "Sweet Spot" 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 because high frequencies are the most directional). 60 Fine-tuning for Stereo (MSP7 STUDIO or MSP5 STUDIO x 2) The speaker LEVEL controls should be set to the same level. A setting of about 12 o'clock corresponds to a nominal input level. Since no subwoofer is being used in this setup, if your speakers have a LOW CUT switch, set it to "FLAT" (the MSP7 STUDIO has a LOW CUT switch). For accurate monitoring set the LOW TRIM switch to "0". If you want to reduce the low-frequency level a bit set the switch to "-1. 5". For accurate monitoring set the HIGH TRIM switch to "0". This switch can be set to "-1. 5 dB" to attenuate the highs slightly if you find the sound too bright. MSP7 STUDIO/MSP5 STUDIO/SW10 STUDIO Owner's Manual 7 English Adding a Subwoofer English 8 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 (MSP7 STUDIO or MSP5 STUDIO x 2, SW10 STUDIO x 1) Set the MSP7 STUDIO or MSP5 STUDIO LEVEL control to about 12 o'clock for nominal input level. If you're using the MSP7 STUDIO set the SW10 STUDIO LEVEL control to about 12 o'clock, and if you're using the MSP5 STUDIO set it to about 10 o'clock. You can then fine-adjust the SW10 STUDIO LEVEL control as required. Another approach would be to adjust the MSP7 STUDIO/MSP5 STUDIO output level to achieve the desired relative balance with the subwoofer. Start with the SW10 STUDIO HIGH CUT control set at its center click position, which corresponds to a HPF frequency of about 80 Hz. The HIGH CUT frequency can be adjusted later to achieve the smoothest integration with the MSP7 STUDIO or MSP5 STUDIO speakers. If you are using the MSP7 STUDIO, set the LOW CUT switch to "80".
