MANUAL

This is the T Series Quick Start Guide, which is designed to get you up and running with your new ADAM Audio T Series monitors as quickly as possible. To get the most out of your T Series monitors, we recommend you read the complete Users’ Manual, which is available for download from our website by clicking here: www.adam-audio.com/t-series/manual

AUDIO CONNECTIONS AND LEVEL SETTINGS

Your T Series monitors need no external amplification, thanks to their built- in amplifiers. The monitors can be directly connected to mixing consoles and both balanced and unbalanced I/O boxes for DAWs. And because T Series monitors automatically accept AC mains voltages ranging from 100 to 240 V, at 50/60 Hz, you don’t have to fuss with selecting a correct voltage switch setting for safe operation. No matter where you work in the world, just plug in and go!
On the rear panel of your T Series monitor, an XLR connector and RCA jack respectively accept balanced +4 dBu and unbalanced -10 dBV nominal input levels. An associated 2-way switch selects which connector receives the input signal. To begin using your T Series monitors, follow these simple steps:
→ Bef ore making any connections to your T Series monitors, make sure the power switch for each monitor is turned off and each monitor’s Level control knob is set to its “0 dB” setting. Also make sure the equipment you will connect to your monitors is turned off and its outputlevel controls, if any, are turned all the way down.
→ If you’ll be sending balanced +4 dBu analog audio from your mixer, I/O box or other equipment to your T Series monitors, use the monitors’ respective XLR connectors and set their +4 dBu/-10 dBV switches to the +4 dBu setting.
→ If you’ll be sending unbalanced -10 dBV analog audio from your mixer, I/O box or other equipment to your T Series monitors, use the monitors’ respective RCA connectors and set their +4 dBu/-10 dBv switches to the -10 dBV setting.
→ After all connections are made to your T Series monitors, turn on the equipment feeding them.
→ Flip the power switch for each of your T Series monitors to the On position.
→ Set the output level controls, if any, on the equipment feeding your monitors to their nominal level or to where you normally set them.
→ While playing audio, fine-tune the Level control knob setting on each monitor to attain the listening volume you desire. If your monitors are placed properly in your room, the settings for the Level control knobs on both monitors should be the same to achieve equal playback volume and balanced imaging.
→ All pro audio monitors require some burn-in time to reach their optimal performance. Please play complex program material through your T Series monitors for at least eight hours before using them on a critical project.
→ At the end of each session, turn off your T Series monitors before powering down any equipment connected to them.
