EUTRIK® 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.
