Rear Panel Controls and Connections

ARC Setup Speaker Link
This RJ-45 (Ethernet style) connection is used to connect your
two speakers together when running ARC. Please refer to the
"Anthem Room Correction (ARC) Setup" section of this manu-
al for more information.
ARC Setup Input
This mini-USB connection is used to connect your speaker to a com-
puter for ARC setup. Please refer to the "Anthem Room Correction
(ARC) Setup" section of this manual for more information.
ARC Status
The ARC Status light indicates the following statuses:
• No color: ARC is off.
• Solid Green: ARC is on. Correction filter is installed.
• Blinking Red: ARC is on. No correction filter installed.
• Solid Red: Computer connected to USB input or speak-
ers connected via ARC Setup Speaker Link.
ARC Room EQ
This switch allows you to turn ARC correction on and off after
a correction curve is loaded onto your speaker.
Signal Input
Please refer to the "Signal Input Connection" section on the
previous page of this manual.
Mid-Bass Control
The Mid-Bass Control knob adjusts the mid-bass level by
–2dB, 0dB, or +2dB. This setting is dependent on room size
and construction, system configuration, and, (most impor-
tantly) personal preference. Turning the control up (+2dB) will
generally result in a fuller sound. Turning it down (–2dB) will
generally results in a lighter, airy sound. We encourage you
to experiment with mid-bass levels and trust your ears when
picking the final setting for this control.

Before deciding on a final setting for the mid-bass level consid-
er running ARC to eliminate room interactions. When running
ARC, the Mid-Bass Control switch will not affect the ARC mea-
surement.
Speaker Status
The Speaker Status light indicates the following statuses:
• Solid Green: The speaker is operational.
• Solid Red: The speaker is in standby mode.
• Blinking Red: Error mode. The speaker will resume nor-
mal operation when the error has cleared. If speaker does
not exit the red blinking error mode after 30 minutes, the
speaker should be unplugged and plugged back in. The
speaker requires servicing if the red blinking error mode
persists after being unplugged and plugged back in.
• Blinking Red/Green: Thermal protection mode. The
amplifier(s) have entered thermal protection mode
and will resume normal operation when temperatures
decrease to safer levels. If speaker does not exit the red/
green blinking error mode after 30 minutes, the speaker
should be unplugged and plugged back in. The speaker
requires servicing if the red/green blinking error mode
persists after being unplugged and plugged back in.
Bass Control
The Bass Control knob adjusts the level under 75Hz by
±10dB. This is an area where peaks and dips of different
amplitudes often manifest in real environments. This setting is
dependent on room size and construction, system configura-
tion and personal preference. Before adjusting the bass control
knob, consider running ARC to eliminate room interactions.
When running an ARC measurement the setting of the bass
control knob will not affect the ARC measurement.
Light Control
The light control allows the effects lighting to be turned on, off,
or dimmed.
