1. Lautsprecherplatzierung

Proper speaker placement is crucial for optimal sound quality. Position the speakers on a stable, flat surface, ideally at ear level when seated. For a balanced stereo image, place the speakers equidistant from your listening position, forming an equilateral triangle. Ensure there is adequate space behind the speakers for ventilation and cable connections.

The active speaker (with the volume knob and inputs) typically serves as the left channel, and the passive speaker as the right channel. Verify this based on the rear panel markings.

Before making any connections, ensure the speakers are powered off and unplugged from the electrical outlet.

  1. Connect the Passive Speaker: Use the included speaker connection cable to link the active speaker to the passive speaker. Connect the positive (+) terminal on the active speaker to the positive (+) terminal on the passive speaker, and the negative (-) terminal on the active speaker to the negative (-) terminal on the passive speaker.
  2. Audioquelle anschließen:
    • For devices with RCA outputs (e.g., audio interface, DVD player), use the RCA to RCA cable to connect to the RCA inputs on the active speaker's rear panel.

Note: It is recommended to turn the volume knob to its minimum setting before powering on or off to prevent sudden loud noises.

  • Kopfhörerausgang (3.5 mm): Connect headphones to this jack for private listening. When headphones are connected, the speaker output will be muted.
