1. INSTRUCTION
"
The professional Resident Audio “Monitor M5“ near-eld Studio Monitor speakers allow you to listen music
through a special Fiberglass Composite woofer material we specially made.
It features an extremely fat low-frequency response and an unprecedented punch in the lower mid-range.
Because of the excellent usage of the Fiberglass custom woofer technology we are able to break up
resonances, resulting in outstanding dynamic behavior and impeccable sound characteristics. The system
consists on a 3/4“ soft silk dome tweeter and 5 1⁄4" Fiberglass composite woofer.
The M-Series is designed to fully replicate the natural details of the source material. Multiple input
connections are integrated into the speaker and allow any system conguration.

2.4 DESCRIPTION REAR PANEL
"
1. XLR INPUT
Accepts balanced XLR input signals. The signal of the XLR input is mixed with the TRS input signal via a balanced input amplier. The
XLR input is wired like this:
2. TRS INPUT
Accepts TRS input signals, either balanced or unbalanced. Use a 3-conductor TRS plug for balanced connections. The TRS input is wired
like this:
Unbalanced wiring works with either a 2- or 3-conductor TRS connector. With a 2-conductor TRS plug (a.k.a. TS plug) the minus signal
input is automatically grounded. With a 3-conductor TRS plug wired unbalanced the minus pin can be left open or grounded. We
recommend that you ground the unused input. The TRS input and the XLR input are summed together via a balanced input amplier. So,
either may be used as an input or both may be mixed together. The input specications apply to both inputs.
"
3. RCA Input
Accepts RCA input signals.
"
4. VENT PORT
The M8 is a vented box speaker system with a vent port on the rear panel. Don’ t block the vent port (e. g. by placing the speaker too
close to a wall) as this could change the overall sound.
"
5. VOLUME KNOB
Sets the proper input level from the sound source. The left and right speakers should be set up identically. Please refer to the illustration
on the right to chose the input level which best suits your sound source.
Further information can be found in the manual of the signal source connected to the speaker inputs. -10 dBV or +4 dBu are the most
common output levels of semi-professional and professional audio equipment. For example, if the output reference level of your sound
source is -10 dBV, you should not set the volume control knob higher than -10 dBV for maximum power.
"
6. POWER SWITCH
Push this switch to turn the M8 on/off.
"
7. POWER RECEPTABLE WITH EXTERNAL FUSE
Connect the detachable 3-circuit line cord to this receptacle and to a suitable power outlet.
