Switches
On the rear of the monitor you will find 6
switches for setting up the monitor for optimum
performance in different acoustic environments.
Each switch is explained in the following.
5. Power Mode switch
ON - The speaker is active and ready to play.
ON/SLEEP - After if no input signal has
been present on the inputs for 20 minutes
the speakers enters the "Sleep" mode and
saves power. The speaker is invoked and
ready to play when a signal is present on the
input again. Wake-up time is approximately 2
seconds.

the time. By connecting the Dynaudio External
Volume control, the volume is conveniently
controllable via the remote.'

7. Filter switches
LF - This switch controls the bass gain level
using shelf-type EQ. The level can be set to
+2dB, 0dB or -2dB.
This filter is used to adjust for the proximity
of boundaries, so if positioned close to wall
or corner, use the -2dB setting. If positioned
far from walls use the +2dB or 0 position,
depending on other equipment, and personal
taste.
MF - This switch sets a notch filter, used to
compensate for the acoustic effect of a console.
1 : 0
2 : + Such placement usually results in a response
peak in lower midrange. The MF switch
3 : -
activates a bell shaped notch filter, which can
compensate. Use either the -2 or the -4dB
setting. You may experiment finding the setting,
which provides the flattest response.
HF - This switch controls the Treble level
and it is used to match the high end of the
monitor to your other electronic equipment, and
your acoustical environment. Use the setting
providing the preferred timbre. If the sound is
too bright; try to set to -1dB to reduce treble by
1dB. If too dull sound, use +1dB setting to raise
the High Pass by 1dB.
HP - This switch sets the lower cut-off
frequency of the monitor. It is used to match
the monitor to a subwoofer. You can select
between 60Hz or 80Hz X-over. Flat is used
in case you do not use a subwoofer to assist
your monitors. When used with a subwoofer
it is recommended to use either 60Hz or
80Hz filter, thus allowing a higher un-distorted
sound-pressure level.
8. Level Trim
Use this switch to match the sensitivity of the
DBM50 monitor to your source.
High-output Source
If your source has a high output, set switch to
the -10 position to reduce sensitivity by 10dB.
Low-output source
If your source has a low output, set switch to
the +4 position to gain 4dB more sensitivity.
