Running-In 1 1 2 2 11 1 1 1 0 0 When brand new, PMC monitors will take a short period of use before they reach their full potential. This is because the mechanical and acoustical characteristics of the bass driver alter slightly after manufacture as the flexible surround elements relax and reach their optimum compliancy. -
Page 15: Applications - 2.1 Configurations
The diagram below illustrates one example of configuring the analogue audio and control connections in a stereo configuration using a twotwo sub1 active subwoofer to extend the bass performance of twotwo active monitors. In this arrangement the left and right analogue inputs are connected to the subwoofer, and the digital output from the subwoofer (suitably high-pass filterered, if desired) is passed on to the satellite twotwo monitors via RJ45 cable. - Page 16 Applications – 2.1 Configurations Centre Analogue Audio Input Source External Analogue Audio Connections 2.1 Configuration, Analogue Sources RJ45 Data Control Connections Controller Channel Front Front Optional Right Left Remote Controller menu back presets push to select mute Analogue In Analogue In Bass Extension Left Analogue Out...

The same basic principles are employed as previously illustrated in the 2.1 and 5.1 configurations.
- Page 20 Applications – 5.1 further Configurations This is the same configuration as the previous page, with separate LFE and bass-extension sub-woofers, but using digital input connections. The front stereo digital audio signals are connected to the bass-extension sub-woofer, and then routed on to the front left speaker via an AES3 cable.

Page 26: Operational Controls
Operational Controls The twotwo active subwoofers are configured and controlled via a simple menu system which is viewed on the rear panel display and navigated by four associated push-buttons. The first loudspeaker in a twotwo series chain acts as the master volume controller. Looking at the four cursor buttons, the left and right buttons step back (exit) and select (enter) the menu options, respectively, while the upper and lower buttons scroll through the various menu options and adjust the parameter values. - Page 27 Setup Mode Pressing the right (enter) button twice from the default volume display accesses the Setup menu, and the up/down buttons can then be used to access the various options. After selecting the desired option pressing the right button again displays the current parameter value, and the up/down buttons can be used to alter the value.
