ACCESSORIES

– Power cable
– Cinch to jack (3.5 mm) adapter cable
– Rubber pads
– Instruction Manual

INSTALLATION

1. Please stick 4 of the rubber pads provided to the base of each of your DSM-3 BT monitors to protect them from vibrations and slipping.
2. For optimum audibility of the high frequencies we recommend installing the tweeter of the studio monitors at face level; if necessary use an appropriate speaker stand. Be sure to use an even, stable underground; if necessary, use sound cushioning material.
3. These speakers are near-field monitors which can be set up at a short distance to the listener.
4. To avoid reflection from walls that are too close (e.g. room corners), turn the speakers slightly towards you. To optimize your ambiance acoustics, you may use sound-absorbing plates.

CLOSE-RANGE INSTALLATION

In studios, monitor speakers are usually positioned on the studio console (at head height). The monitors and the position of the listener should also form an isosceles triangle; in other words, place them at an angle of 60° to the listening position.

MID-RANGE INSTALLATION

The mid-range installation arrangement should be similar to the close-range installation setup. This variant is usually selected for larger monitors where they are too large or too heavy to be placed on the studio console. This set- up provides a larger „listening position“ and creates better acoustic conditions in the room. With mid-range installation, the bass for the monitors should be positioned above the studio console.

CONNECTIONS

1. Connect both speakers using the speaker cable provided and the appropriate terminals (1)/(6). Insert the center wires into the sockets by pressing the terminal on the speaker jack.
2. Now connect your signal source using the signal input connector (2) (cinch). You can connect an external subwoofer using the subwoofer out (3) if required.
3. Connect the power cable supplied to the power cable connection (4) and plug it into your power socket.

OPERATION

1. ENSURE THE VOLUME CONTROL IS AT THE MINIMUM POSITION
   Turn the volume control dial (12) to the Minimum position (turn controller left) before you switch the device on.

2. TURN ON THE POWER
   Once everything is connected, turn the device on using the On/Off switch (5).

3. ADJUST THE VOLUME
   Adjust the volume using the volume control dial (12).

4. SELECT SIGNAL INPUT
   You have the choice of 2 possible signal input sources:
   Cinch (2)
   Bluetooth (7)

To connect a playback device via cinch, connect the cinch cable of your playback unit using the cinch socket (2) on the DSM-3 BT monitor 1.
NOTE
Please ensure that the signal strength of your chosen playback device is sufficient. Many playback devices, for example, various record players may require an additional preamplifier for direct connection to achieve sufficient signal strength.
When the DSM-3 BT is turned on, the Bluetooth pairing LED (8) glows white. To use a Bluetooth playback device, first, enable Bluetooth on the chosen playback device and then press the Bluetooth pairing button (7) on your DSM3 BT monitor1.
When the DSM-3 BT appears on your Bluetooth device, press „Connect“. While in pairing mode, the Bluetooth pairing LED (8) will flash blue and white alternately. Once the connection is established, the Bluetooth pairing LED (8) will glow blue. To connect to a different Bluetooth device, press the Bluetooth pairing button (7) again to cancel the active Bluetooth connection and return to pairing mode. Repeat the process described above.

TONE CONTROL

You can raise or lower the bass and treble using the bass controller (10) and treble controller (11). The ideal setting will depend on the particular features of the room. A room with excellent sound insulation will need the higher frequencies increasing. Conversely, higher frequencies need lowering in rooms with reverberation.
