When used in the landscape orientation, we recommend location of the monitors so that the drive units are toed inwards, with their axes oriented towards the listening position. The distance between the two speakers should be about 1.5 to 2 metres, depending on the monitoring position.
If the source itself has a balanced output, use shielded twin conductor cable (microphone cable) connecting pin 2/T to pin 2/T, pin 3/R to pin 3/R, and pin 1/S to pin 1/S (using the shield). If the source has an unbalanced output, a single conductor shielded cable can be used, connecting pin 2/T of the input to the “hot”...
