Protection
The BM Compact mkIII monitor has sever-
al built in protection systems to reduce the
risk of hazard or damage due to overload-
ing.
Both power amplifiers have thermal protec-
tion. This activates if a problem should oc-
cur, and helps protect both the electronics
and the loudspeaker drivers.
The woofer channel has a built in limiter
that protects the woofer unit from too much
excursion. It works by reducing the gain of
the circuit when a certain threshold level is
reached.
Positioning
The BM Compact mkIII is designed as a
precision near-field monitor and can be
equally well used in both stereo and sur-
round setups. Optimal performance is
achieved when positioned 1 to 3 meters
from the listener.
It can be placed on stands or on the me-
ter bridge of a console provided that the
meter bridge is sufficiently sturdy. For best
results, the speakers should be aimed to-
wards the listener in both vertical and hori-
zontal planes.
