    2. Quick Start Important Information for set up After having unpacked your loudspeaker, please allow the system to acclimate to the temperature of the room for approximately an hour. It is important to ensure the speakers sit firmly on a solid surface! We recommend that you retain the original packaging, as it is the best way to guarantee safe transportation should the need to do so arise.
  • Page 7: Connecting The Speaker

    On the front side of the unit functioning as master, a corresponding white LED will illuminate as soon as a mono RCA plug is connected to the Stereo Link output. Unlike the common ‘master-slave-configuration’, any A3X or A5X that is connected accordingly can function as either a master or a slave unit.

    4. Speaker Placement Please make sure that there are no obstacles in the way from the monitor to your ears. You should be able to see the speakers completely. Vertical set up The AX-series have been designed for a vertical set up (except the A77X). The speakers must be positioned on a solid surface or a stand.

    4. Speaker Placement A77X only: The A77X has been designed for a horizontal set up. Please note that there are two different versions, A and B (see label on the rear panel). The difference is that the two woofers reproduce different frequency bands. While both of them are responsible for the bass frequencies up to about 400Hz, only one of them reproduces the midrange.
