4. Volume Control: This knob is used to control the output level of each speaker. The input sensitivity
can be adjusted (counterclockwise reduces sensitivity) with this rear panel mounted system gain control.
Adjustment range is from -30dB to + 6dB (Sat 5) & -80dB to + 6dB (Sāt 10S), which should suffice for
most conditions.
5. HF Adjustment: This knob is used to control the high frequency adjustment of this speaker. Room
acoustics may dictate which type of adjustment you need to make to retain a flat frequency response
from the monitor. (Only Available In Sāt 5)
6. Crossover: This knob adjusts the crossover frequency for the built-in 24dB/octave variable
crossover. The crossover frequency can be adjusted from 50Hz to 150Hz. Frequencies below the
crossover frequency are sent to the sub-woofer.
7. Auto Power: If set to the AUTO position the subwoofer will go into STANDBY mode (mute) if Idle
for more than 45 minutes it resumes working immediately after an input signal is received. If set to the
ON position it will be on constantly, & the OFF position allows you to use the subwoofers power switch
manually.
8. Phase Switch: This switch reverses the polarity of the signal going to the subwoofer amplifier by
180°. It has no effect on the signal at the Left & Right out or the Master out. There is no right or wrong
setting for this switch. Listen to the overall blend of the subwoofer with the rest of the system, and select
the switch position that gives you the best sound.
9. Peak LED: The Peak LED will illuminate if the input channels are being overloaded or distorted.

5. Speaker Placement
Positioning your monitors correctly in the studio is critical to their performance. Typically, they should be
placed so that the listening position is fully “covered” with all monitors resting on the same horizontal
plane. A great way to test a monitor for its imaging capability is to play back a CD or DVD recorded
acoustically in stereo (or one recorded in surround sound if you have a surround sound set up). We
recommend acoustic music because it represents the spectrum of sound. You can adjust the angle of
each monitor by listening for dead spots. Keep in mind, changing the angle or position of a monitor will
change the sound.
