Event electronics S100 User manual

USER GUIDE

Thank you for choosing the S100 Active Low Frequency Monitor. To get the most
from your new subwoofer, please take a moment to read this manual and familiarize
yourself with the product’s features, set-up, and use.
Unpacking
The shipping container is designed to protect your subwoofer during transit. Please
unpack and check your subwoofer carefully, and immediately report any damage
to your dealer or to the company that delivered the subwoofer to you. The packing
materials are designed to be reused—do not discard them. If you need to return the
subwoofer to the factory for repair, it must be shipped in the original packaging.
Connections and Operation
If you currently have a set of active direct eld monitors up and running - that is,
properly placed in front of you in a typical project studio acoustic environment (refer
to your active direct eld monitors owners manual for proper placement) - then you
are likely ready to place, connect, and use the S100.
In nearly all monitoring environments, the S100 should be placed on the oor,
speaker facing down, directly between the front left and right direct eld monitors.
Typically these monitors are situated 60° apart, or 30° on either side of front/center,
and positioned at ear level, with the low and high frequency driver components
pointed toward your ears.
• LFE channel monitoring (5.1 setup). Feed the LFE signal from your preamplier
or mixer into the S100’s Line In Mono input jack and set the S100’s level using the
Input Sensitivity control.
• Extending the low frequency response of your active monitoring system (2.1
setup). Connect the source to the Left and Right Line In Stereo inputs on the S100,
and feed the Left and Right Line Outs (pass-thrus) to your Left and Right satellite
monitors, respectively. Set the S100’s level using the Input Sensitivity control. It
should be set for a balanced, natural sound, rather than for excessive low end
response.

• Muting the S100 output. Plug the included 1/4” footswitch into the On/Mute
footswitch jack. Depressing the switch once will mute the output from the S100.
Pressing it again will restore output. Note that the mute function applies only to audio
generated by the S100. The audio that appears at the Pass-Thru jacks is unaffected
by the mute operation.
Care and Maintenance
Your S100 Active Low Frequency Monitor is simple to care for and maintain. The
cabinet is nished with a durable vinyl laminate that can be cleaned with a soft
damp cloth. Avoid touching the exposed speaker element. Do not expose the rear
panel controls, connectors, or the speaker element to moisture or chemicals. Do not
expose the unit to dripping or splashing liquids; objects lled with liquids should not
be placed on the unit.
The fuse is housed in the powder connector which is replaceable by the user.
