• Position each LSR305 and LSR308 speaker in a vertical orientation with the tweeter on the top. Vertical orientation eliminates phase shift and cancellation of frequency response that occurs when the distance of the woofer to the ear is different from the distance of the tweeter to the ear.
• If you notice the sound is distorted, set this switch to the +4 dBu setting. • When using the LSR310S in a system with the LSR308 or LSR305 studio monitors, set the INPUT SENSITIVITY switch on the LSR305 or LSR308 to the -10dBV setting regardless of the LSR310S input sensitivity switch setting.
MAkING SOUND After connections are made, reduce the output level of the audio source (mixing console, computer recording system, or preamp) to minimum. Set the 3 Series POWER SWITCH to the “ON position.” After a short delay the POWER INDICATOR on the front of each speaker will illuminate and the speakers will be ready to reproduce audio signals.
