Controls & Connections - Monitor Audio Anthra Series Product Manual

Controls and connections
1 - Encoder
Press the Encoder to wake up the Subwoofer and to select options within the Subwoofers menu system. Turn the
encoder to scroll the menu and to change the volume, Low Pass Filter settings, and EQ presets in the menu.
2 - Screen
Displays the Anthra menu for setup using the encoder. Refer to page 10 for more on the menu system layout.
3 - Factory Reset
With the subwoofer switched On, press and hold for 5 seconds to perform a factory reset of the Anthra
subwoofer. To access the button use a thin or pointed object.
4 - RCA Line Level Inputs
For connection to a 2 channel/ stereo amplifier system, connection should be provided by a pair of high-quality
signal cables from the pre-out section of an amplifier. Connection from an AV receiver or processor should be
made using a single subwoofer cable into either of the inputs.
NOTE: Cable lengths should not exceed 10 metres to avoid interference from other electrical appliances.
5 - RCA Line Level Outputs
To be used to feed additional sub-woofers or power amplifiers from the Anthra subwoofer by 'daisy chain' type
connection. The outputs are link-out only connections and do not provide any form of filtering or amplification.
There must be a signal into the RCA inputs for the linked outputs to work.
NOTE: Cable lengths should not exceed 10 metres to avoid interference from other electrical appliances.
6 - 12 Volt Trigger Input ~ Centre Pin Tip = +12Vdc
For external power control from an AV amplifier/ receiver to the Anthra Subwoofer. Monitor Audio recommend
using this function and a lead is supplied. This 12 volt signal is generated by the AV amp/receiver and tells the
Subwoofer to turn On from standby mode. This allows a more accurately controlled auto On/Off function, and
is far more energy efficient.
7 - Balanced LFE Input (Female XLR Type)
To be used when connecting to the balanced output on the amplifier. This is the best method of connection
when using long runs of cables (over 10m up to 100m). A balanced connection provides a much better, almost
noise free method of connection over RCA connectors.
8 - Balanced LFE Output (Male XLR Type)
To be used to feed additional sub-woofers or power amplifiers from the Anthra subwoofer by 'daisy chain' type
connection. This is the best method of connection when using long runs of cables (over 10m, up to 100m).
A balanced connection provides a much better (almost noise free) method of connection over RCA
connectors. The output is a link-out only connection and does not provide any form of filtering or
amplification. There must be a signal into the XLR input for the linked output to work.
9 - IEC Mains Input Socket
The subwoofer is supplied with a three-pin mains input socket for connection to the mains supply. Use ONLY
the appropriate IEC mains lead provided with the product.
