Page 6: Quick Setup Guide
5. Connect the power cord to “MAINS INPUT” connector and the other end into wall outlet. 6. Connect DSPeaker Servo 300 power on (power switch to 1) 7. Calibrate the speaker by pressing and holding the control button for about 4 seconds. While the calibration process measures the room, avoid making loud ... - Page 7 S 300 EAKER ERVO LISTENING ZONE 2.1 Placing the Servo 300 Speaker Servo 300 speaker is designed to be positioned close to the room walls and corners, where the response can be extended even as low as below 30Hz. However, safe distance of 10 cm (4 inches) to curtains or any other objects behind the speakers must be maintained to allow sufficient ventilation for the amplifiers. Do not place any flammable objects or materials near the amplified back plates. The speaker is equipped with builtin version of highly acclaimed AntiMode room correction algorithm. AntiMode TM will automatically flatten the power response and minimize modal ringing of room resonances at the frequency range 24 152 Hz. Because of this, Servo 300 will feature a lot more accurate bass control than for example bass tone controls present in other active loudspeakers. ...

Page 8: Usage
S 300 EAKER ERVO 2.2 Usage 2.2.1 Control Button The control button has different meanings in different situations, also depending on whether it is pressed briefly or pressed and held for longer period. All the operation functions are logical and intuitive: Short press when the speaker is on will toggle the AntiMode correction ON – (status led GREEN) and OFF (status led ORANGE). Long press when the speaker is on and microphone connected will begin the –... -
Page 9: Automatic Wakeup And Standby
S 300 EAKER ERVO 2.2.4 Automatic Wakeup and Standby The speaker will go to power saving “Stand By” mode deactivating it's power amplifiers when it has detected no input signal in 15 minutes. The speaker will also wake up automatically when it detects signal at the audio input. Wake up will take a few seconds as the power amplifiers must be turned on. When the speaker is detecting audio signal at the input in stand by and waking up, it will flash the led ... -
Page 10: Errors And Warnings
S 300 EAKER ERVO 2.3 Errors and Warnings The speaker will monitor constantly it's input level, positional feedback of the woofer cone, currents of the amplifiers, operating temperature, status of the DSP and microphone input in calibration. The speaker can maintain safe operation in many different situations, but might inform the user about these. If electromagnetic pulse disorients the DSP, a special integrated “watchdog” will turn the power off instantly to prevent permanent damage or misbehaviour. If the temperature becomes dangerously high, the speaker will go into stand by mode and wake up only after it has cooled down to safe range. If an external force is pressing the woofer cone for too long, the speaker will flash the status led red, and eventually shut itself down if the external force persists. 2.3.1 Blinking Red Status LED In normal operation, the blinking status led simply tells the user that the A/D saturation threshold is reached. This does not necessarily require any actions from the user, as there is ... -

balance especially at the lower frequencies. In order to accomplish perfect sound characteristics in every circumstance, the active speaker should be able to measure the room and adjust itself to the existing acoustic conditions. DSPeaker Servo 300 is equipped with the highly acclaimed builtin AntiMode ... -
Page 12: Ascm Calibration
S 300 EAKER ERVO 2.5 ASCM Calibration The speakers are incorporated with patent pending processor controlled Position Feedback measurement and Active Suspension Compliance Management System, ASCM. Thanks to the ASCM, the speaker will not suffer any common phenomena of uncontrolled low frequency energy storages, and will deliver the fastest, tightest and most accurate bass possible even to the lowest octaves inroom. The speaker has also not herited the “boxy” or ... -
Page 13: Output Gain Switch
300 EAKER ERVO 2.6 Output Gain Switch DSPeaker Servo 300 has three settings for different output levels. 0dB is the default setting, which is suitable for farfield dynamics. It gives the highest peak sound pressure level. However, it also has creates servofeedback which can sometimes result in higher noise level than desired for near field usage. 6dB will drop the output level by 6dB, which will result in lower noise level, but also ... - Page 14 S 300 EAKER ERVO Rev. 1.6 21.06.2010 Page 14 (16)
