Switches
On the rear of the monitor you will find six
switches for setting up the monitor for opti-
mum performance in different acoustic en-
vironments. 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 input for 20 minutes
the speaker 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 approxi-
mately two seconds.

6. Remote
Usually, active speakers are at max level
all 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
+2 dB, 0 dB or -2 dB.
This filter is used to adjust for the prox-
imity of boundaries, so if positioned close
to wall or corner, use the -2 dB setting. If
positioned far from walls use the +2 dB 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.
Such placement usually results in a re-
sponse peak in lower midrange. The MF
switch activates a bell shaped notch filter,
which can compensate. Use either the -2
or the -4 dB setting. Find the setting that
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 -1 dB to re-
duce treble by 1 dB. If the sound is too dull,
use +1 dB setting to raise the High Pass
by 1 dB.
HP: This switch sets the lower cut-off fre-
quency of the monitor. It is used to match
the monitor to a subwoofer. You can select
between 60 Hz or 80 Hz X-over. Flat is
used in case you do not use a subwoofer
