unbalanced source is used (example

listening position. This is due to the effect of
the DCW which increases the directivity. If
the ratio of direct sound to reflected sound
is greater the listener is then able to listen
to more of the material and less of the
room effects. Subjectively this is perceived as
superior stereo imaging.

Mounting options

The 1029A offers several mounting options:
On the base of the monitor is a 3/8" UNC
threaded hole which can accommodate a
standard microphone stand. On the rear
there is a provision for an Omnimount
50, bracket, the hardware required is two
M6x10mm screws. Alternatively, the speaker
can be hung on a wall in a vertical or horizon-
tal position by one of the three wall hanging
points.
A set of friction pads is also provided for
placing the 1029A on flat surfaces.
Maintenance
No user serviceable parts are to be found
within the amplifier unit. Any maintenance
or repair of the 1029A unit should only be
undertaken by qualified service personnel.
