Normal operating conditions will cause the red led to flash occasionally on peaks. We draw your attention to the fact that this loudspeaker can produce pressure levels which may be harmful. Shivaudyo declines all responsibility for eventual hearing loss caused by the use of our loudspeakers.
If you want to use the optional remote control, you need to use the Master - Slave configuration. The Point Zero can be used in a multi-device setting, for example a stereo setup. If you connect the two devices (using SPDIF) and want to be able to adjust the master volume on both devices, you must set one speaker as a master and the other as a slave.

This is useful when your slave's source is connected to an output which has its own level control. Source lock A slave can lock its source, so it will not change when the master's source is changed. For example, when the slave is connected to the master with an SPDIF cable, the master source can be switched to Optical, SPDIF or AES, whereas the slave source should always remain SPDIF.

Activate signal detection The Point Zero has two power-down modes: “Standby” and “Low power” (See 'Shut down power-mode'). When the device is in any power-down mode, it can wake-up by an analogue signal on the XLR or RCA input. If the device is in “Low-power” power-down mode, it can also wake up by detecting audio on any digital input.
