    N T R O D U C T I O N Thank You and congratulations on your purchase of the HAFLER TRM6 reference monitor, the world's finest brand in professional audio equipment. The TRM6 (Trans•ana Reference Monitor) is a bi-amplified, two-way near field monitor offering unmatched quality and performance in a truly professional grade product.
  • Page 11 MOSFET Devices ® HAFLER is one of the few manufacturers in the sound community to utilize MOSFET devices in both the power supply and output stages. MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) devices offer several important inherent advantages over the 30 year old technology of bi-polar design. These advantages include: thermal stability, fast switching speed, ultra low output impedance and wide bandwidth linearity.
  • Page 12 Tweeter Wave Guide ® The wave guide is a proprietary axis-symmetrical form of horn mounted to the tweeter to increase efficiency. The wave guide improves the transition of sound waves (from planar to spherical) smoothly from the throat of the wave guide to the mouth. The unique shape and smooth surfaces improve the tweeter's off-axis frequency response as well as provide coherent on-axis response.

    N S T A L L A T I O N LOCATION The location of your reference monitors in addition to the acoustics of the listening room will influence the system frequency response. In the near field environment, our ears are more sensitive to direct sound rather than the reverberation of sound.
  • Page 15: Determining Acoustic Center

    DETERMINING ACOUSTIC CENTER Finding the “Acoustic Center” is accomplished by positioning the monitors so coherent arrival of the transducers occurs at ear level. The Acoustic Center is located 3 to 4 feet in front of the monitor, measuring perpendicularly from the center point of the cabinet (midway between the woofer and tweeter).

    P E R A T I O N NOTE: When using the INPUT SENSITIVITY, select only one switch configuration at a time. Engaging multiple switch configurations (i.e., moving two or more switches ON) may cause undesirable operation and is NOT RECOMMENDED. INPUT SENSITIVITY The Input Sensitivity adjustment is used to match the monitor with signal levels from a variety of mixing consoles.
  • Page 23: Bass Shelving

    AC LINE The TRM6 operates from a 115 VAC/60Hz power line. The TRM6 CE operates from a 230 VAC 50/60Hz power line. Connection is made by a 16 gauge, IEC Type 320, grounded line cord. For safety considerations only a properly grounded (earthed) receptacle should be used.
  • Page 24: Power Switch

    POWER SWITCH The POWER switch is located on the front panel. The LED will illuminate GREEN, indicating the respective amplifiers are on. It is possible to leave the power switch in the ON position and switch the monitor remotely through a power distribution block or switched outlet. When doing so, make sure the switch is rated for the current required by the monitor.

    Disconnect the power to the amplifier before removing the heatsink assembly from the speaker cabinet. To adjust the bias, remove the jumper JW1 and connect an ammeter across the exposed pins. Adjust trimpots R11 and R9 fully counter-clockwise before reapplying power to the unit. After the Soft Start turn-on has settled, note the ammeter reading.
  • Page 30: Input Circuit

    Input Circuit The input signal is connected to the amplifier through the balanced XLR connector J1, or the unbalanced RCA connector J2. Balanced/unbal- anced switch DS1 will ground the inverting input buffer, allowing operation with an unbalanced signal on either connector. Input buffers U1A and U1B provide a stable input impedance, dominated by R10 and R4.

    Woofer Crossover Unbalanced 2nd Order LP Input Signal 3200Hz U112B, R85, R98, C64, C48 The input signal at U4A pin 1 connects to the 3200Hz 2nd order low-pass filter at U112B. Approximately 2dB of additional gain can be added to this stage by adjusting R136 against the divider resistor, R137. The next stage is a 30Hz-60Hz switchable sub-sonic high-pass filter.

The voltage divider R56, R57, and R51, R61 establishes the reference voltage for the Clipping detector at pin 7 of U5A and pin 9 of U5D. Excessive drive signal at pin 6 or pin 8 will trigger its comparator low and light the CLIP/THERMAL indicator red.
