Audio product manual QUICK START If you already have experience with studio monitors, the Quick Start guide ought to be more than enough to get you started. For unexperienced users we recommend reading the whole user’s manual in order to prevent any misuse. 2.1.
SC3070 OPERATION 3.1. First Steps Rear Connections & DIP Switches Check the package components (loudspeaker, user’s manual, power cord, grille, rubber feet); Check the voltage setting (see “Mains Voltage Selector”). Check the setting of the DIP Switches (variable). Connections: there are two input connectors on the rear side. These allow the connection of balanced sources with XLR connectors or unbalanced sources with RCA connectors.
Best left/right SC3070 position for an optimal stereo field For the right side of the stereo field, choose the SC3070 version whose woofer is on the right-hand side. For the left side of the stereo field, choose the SC3070 version whose woofer is on the left-hand side.
SC3070 In order to protect the tweeter, your EVE Audio monitors are supplied with a metal grid, which has no impact on the sound. The grid is attached to the tweeter by means of magnetic attraction. Be careful not to damage the folded tweeter diaphragm when placing the grid: Hold the grille with your fingers parallel to the front side of the monitor.

Audio product manual overloading. If that is the case, the output level of the source should be reduced. • Volume Adjustment -20 dB 1 Step = 0.5 dB (1 LED = 4 Steps) 1 Step = 1 dB -12 dB (1 LED = 4 steps) 1 Step = 0.5 dB (1 LED = 2 Steps)
Volume mode. 3.8. Filters The filters of the EVE Audio monitors were specially developed to offer you the possibility of adjusting your monitoring system to the characteristics of your room. These filters help correct the alterations to the frequency response produced by the room acoustics and listening distance.
Audio product manual If the low frequencies are boosted by the room, you can attenuate them with the Low-Shelf Filter. The reasons for this boost could be the room modes or the loudspeakers being too close to the walls. In the same way, if the low frequencies are too weak, you can boost them to balance the frequency response.
The following applies to the Low, High and Desk filters: • Every step represents a 0.5dB increment. • Maximal boost is +3dB and maximal attenuation is –5dB. • Refer to the chapter on POSITIONING to set the filters of your EVE Audio monitors effectively. 3.13.
Audio product manual • Bright Ring All LEDs up to the selected volume level light up brightly. The louder the signal, the longer the brightly lit-up ring. Bright Point • Only the LEDs corresponding to the selected volume level light up brightly. The louder the signal, the further up the brightly lit-up point moves.
The Mains Voltage Selector allows you to adjust the operating voltage of your EVE Audio monitors to the local power grid. Set it to “230” if your local power grid is 220-240 volts or “115” if it is 110-120 volts.
0.5m (19 inches) to the walls, in order to avoid low frequency boosting. EVE Audio monitors can also be flush-mounted in a wall, in which case there should be enough air flow. This is important to keep the electronic components cool but also to allow for the best performance of the bass reflex ports.
4.3. Stereo Setup The tweeter of your EVE Audio monitors should be ideally placed at the same height as your ears. If this is not possible tilt the monitors so that the tweeter is directed to your ears. The ideal distance between the SC3070 monitors and the listening position is 1-3 m (3.3-10 ft).
(left/right) and a subwoofer for the low frequencies. The speakers from a circle around the listening position. Ideally, a 5.1 system would comprise four EVE Audio SC3070, one EVE Audio SC407 as the center speaker plus an EVE Audio TS110 or TS112 subwoofer.
SC3070 done in the same manner as in a stereo setup with a subwoofer (see “Stereo Setup + Subwoofer“). Place the center monitor directly in front of the listening position, i.e. right in the center between both front satellites. The rear satellites should form an isosceles triangle with the listening position forming an angle of 140º.

SC3070 4.7. Room Acoustics In order for the described measures to work effectively, we recommend that you put special attention to the room acoustics. The size, contents, wall parallelism, proportion, and reflective behavior of the room, as well as the corners, the building materials and their characteristics play a very important role in the acoustics of a room.
