Warnings! Mains Voltage Select switch (VAC Select) on the rear panel must be in the 230V position for AC power line voltages over 132 VAC. Connecting the power cord to AC power line voltages over 132 VAC while the VAC Select switch is in the 115V position will damage the amplifier. Such damage is NOT covered under warranty.
1. Description The MiniMain12 is a four-way active loudspeaker capable of nearfield, mid-field and far-field operation. The seven drive units are all housed in sealed enclosures. The DSP controlled four-way power amplifier module can deliver 1200 Watts continuously. The system accepts either analog or 24 bit/192 kHz digital audio signals.
The analog signal is converted to 24bit/192kHz digital audio via a preci- sion, ultra-high-fidelity analog to digital converter section inside the MiniMain12. 3. [AES3] XLR connector is designed to receive digital AES3 standard audio signal from sources such as sound cards and digital audio workstations.
6. Positioning The acoustic center of the MiniMain12 is located at the center of the tweeter. The MM12 is designed to work equally well as a nearfield, mid-field or far-field monitor. The minimum recommended listening distance is 1 meter (39.4”).

Symmetrical stereo arrangements. Cooling While the Hypex amplifier modules that drive the MiniMain12 are a very efficient, the speaker still generates a significant amount of heat that must be dissipated. This heat is transmitted to the air via the rear amplifier plate, heat sink and the driver cones.
7. Voice Emulation With the MM12, you can box up your secondary reference monitors for good. Despite the advantages of high- resolution monitors, many engineers still rely on their NS-10s and Auratones as secondary references. These speakers have long traditions and people find them familiar and useful for focusing in on certain aspects of their mix.
This effect is most especially prevalent in the low frequency drivers where the cone motion is greatest. While, the MiniMain12 is built with a massive and well braced cabinet, we also tackle the problem at its source by eliminating vibrations before they even begin.
