INTRODUCTION: Thank you for your selection of the A-10. Your studio monitors are a critical element in the countless decisions made during recording, mixing, mastering and other key aspects of audio production. They must deliver a transparent, neutral and revealing assessment of sound, so that you have the information you need to choose and place microphones, set Eq’s, balance mixes...
Replacing or extending the supplied cables with any other type will have a varying, and only partly predictable impact on the sound of the A-10. If your installation requires the use of alternative cables, you may consult the supplied table listing our measurement data on a variety of cable types.

USING THE A-10 CONTROL FUNCTIONS: The A-10 controls are designed for utility and repeatability under varying conditions. You should find the effects of the controls sonically subtle, with little impact on the basic character and accuracy of the speaker. experimentation to fine tune the system to the requirements of your particular installation.
However, a speaker’s upper frequency power response changes with distance, due to room influences and air absorption. The A-10 may be adjusted for flat response at two listening distances. The maximum high frequency output is obtained with the control in the “FF” (far-field) position. In the near-field, the control attenuates 20 kHz by 2.5 dB, with no effect on frequencies below 3 kHz.
SYSTEM OPERATION: The A-10 is capable of very high output levels, especially when listening in the near-field. Still, every speaker system has its limits. Protect your ears and use common sense. Harsh breakup at extremely high volume, or heat emanating from the drivers is an indication that the system has exceeded its output limits and you should lower the playback level.
