    Thank you for choosing Senal. The.The.Senal.ASM-5.Two-Way.Active.Speaker.is.designed.for. near-field.monitoring.in.professional.audio.applications..The. ASM-5.features.active.filter.technology.and.a.dual-channel. power.amplifier,.driven.by.a.5″.woofer.and.0.8″.metal.dome. tweeter.that.deliver.a.wide.and.flat.frequency.response.with. pristine.audio.reproduction.and.accurate.sound.imaging..The. cabinet’s.curved.port.tube.provides.natural.low-frequency. output.and.minimizes.distortion,.while.the.ellipsoidal. design.and.rigid,.high-intensity.aluminum.alloy.construction. prevent.diffraction.and.cabinet.resonance..This.meticulous. engineering.allows.the.ASM-5.to.handle.high.sound.pressure. levels.in.a.compact.cabinet.size. Fine-tune.settings.allow.the.user.to.adjust.the.high,.mid,.and. low.frequencies.to.compensate.for.the.listening.environment,. speaker.placement,.and.audio.source..There.is.also.a.three- position.high-pass.filter.for.low-frequency.cutoff.that.makes. it.easy.to.match.the.speaker.with.a.subwoofer..The.ASM-5. comes.with.a.rubber.base.that.isolates.the.speaker.from.its. resting.surface.to.prevent.resonant.coupling,.and.makes.it. easy.to.adjust.the.vertical.angle.of.the.speaker.to.down.fire.or. up.fire..The.speaker.can.also.be.mounted.on.a.wall.or.a.stand. via.the.mounting.threads.on.the.cabinet.

    Mounting the Speaker For.desktop.placement,. place.the.speaker.on.the. included.rubber.base..This. base.serves.to.isolate.the. speaker.from.its.resting. 30° surface.and.prevent. resonant.coupling..The.base. 110° is.designed.to.make.it.easy. for.you.to.adjust.the.vertical. angle.of.the.speaker.to. down.fire.or.up.fire,.so.you. can.aim.the.acoustic.axis.at. the.listener’s.ear. The.speaker.may.also.be.mounted.on.a.wall.via.the.mounting. threads.on.the.rear.of.the.cabinet,.or.on.a.speaker.stand.via. the.threaded.mount.on.the.bottom.of.the.cabinet..To.mount. the.speaker.on.a.wall,.you.can.use.the.Senal.speaker.bracket. kit,.sold.separately.
