6. Mode Button
This button is used to toggle between the speaker's two pre-defined voicings – Normal and Punch.
Normal mode is tuned for deep, robust bass, whereas punch focuses on boosting frequencies on the
upper-end of its frequency range, adding extra power to kick drums.
7. Status LED Indicator
The status indicator will remain lit if the speaker is in functioning condition. If the light blinks, it
indicates that the speaker has entered temperature protection mode and must be cooled down and
power-cycled before it will function normally.
8. Signal LED Indicator
The status indicator will turn green when an input signal is detected. NOTE: Low-voltage signals may
not be able strong enough to trigger the LED indicator, but may still be heard from the speaker – this
is perfectly fine.
9. Limit LED Indicator
The limit indicator will turn red when the output has reached its maximum level. If the LED blinks
occasionally, EAW DynO™ will optimize the output and continue to provide clear output at its
maximum volume. If the LED blinks frequently or is lit continuously, reduce the level control (1) to
prevent output distortion.

Audio Connections

Analog Audio

Connect the output from your line-level signal source to either the XLR-3F INPUT or TRS connector on the
rear panel. These are electronically balanced inputs. Only one of these connectors can be connected at a
time – using both inputs at the same time will cause input distortion. Users must provide their own XLR/TRS
cables. The two XLR-type connectors (one female and one male) and TRS connector on the rear of each RS
series product are designed for professional audio signal levels, nominally 0 dB (= 0.775 V). Normally, use
the female XLR or TRS as the signal input. Use the male XLR as a loop-thru output to connect the same signal
input to additional RS products.
The XLR wiring convention is as
follows:
Pin 1: Shield
Pin 2: +/Hot
Pin 3: -/Cold
