SPEAKER PLACEMENT:
The M-60 Xd Monitor System is intended to provide consistent performance over a wide range of
placement situations. This is accomplished through the use of electrical controls, wide dispersion
drivers, advanced enclosure design and carefully chosen crossover characteristics. Nevertheless, it
is always worth investing time and effort experimenting with optimum loudspeaker placement. In all
cases, the M-60 Xd Monitors should be set up the same distance from the listening position (see fig.
8 below). This is important in order to insure equal arrival time of all channels to the listening position.
Ideally, the tweeter height on the M-60 Xd monitor, as with all channels, should be on axis with your
ears, or slightly above. Also, remember that nearby reflective surfaces (including video monitors) can
alter impulse response, blur imaging and change tonality; giving the M-60 Xd as much room as
possible assures the highest-quality reproduction.
SYSTEM OPERATION:
The M-60 Xd is capable of very high output levels, especially when listening in the near field. Still,
every speaker system has its limits. Harsh breakup at extremely high volume, or heat emanating from
the drivers is an indication that the system has exceeded its output limits and that you should lower
the playback level. Watch for excessive lighting of the front panel overload indicator on the Control
Amplifier. Speaker damage most often occurs from sustained high volume levels, not from transient
sounds or brief musical peaks. Protect your ears and use common sense.
M-60 Xd MONITOR SYSTEM CARE:
Except for the occasional flattering comment, your M-60 Xd System needs no regular maintenance.
Never attempt to clean the M-60 Xd Monitor driver units except for very light feather dusting. The M-
60 Xd Monitor cabinets and the M-60 Xd Control Amplifier front panel can be cleaned using a damp,
soft cotton cloth, first sprayed with a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner and with the unit unplugged and
AC power off. Never spray the speaker or amplifier directly! Avoid silicone and oil based cleaners or
treatments.
