FRONT PANEL

1. TWEETER – This outputs the high
frequencies.
2. WOOFER – This outputs the low
frequencies.
3. HEADPHONES – Connect your 1/8"
headphones to this output to hear the
mix through your headphones. Note that
while headphones are connected to
Elevate 3, you will not be able to hear
sound out of your speakers until the
headphones are disconnected.
4. VOL/POWER – This knob is used to turn
the speakers on and adjust their volume.
To turn on, simply turn up the knob. You
will feel a click when the speakers turn
on. A LED on the left side of the speaker
will illuminate. To turn off, simply turn the
volume all the way down; the LED will
turn off to let you know that the speakers
are off.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The placement of your speakers has a huge
impact on how well they will perform in your
studio. Although nearfield studio monitors are
designed to be more forgiving when it comes to
placement, you should do your best to make
sure they form an equilateral triangle relative to
your head. In other words, make sure that each
speaker is equally distant from both your head as
well as the other speaker. Once each speaker
has been placed, rotate the speakers slightly so
that the drivers are pointing toward the listener.
Take a look at the diagram on the right. Notice
that the distance from the listener's head to each
speaker is the same as the distance between the
left and right speakers. Also note that the
speakers are turned slightly so that the drivers
are facing the listener. This is an ideal setup but
if it is not practical (or possible) to do this, try to
match this setup as closely as possible.

SPEAKER HEIGHT

The ideal height for Elevate 3 is so that the
speaker is parallel to the ground and that
the midpoint of the woofer and tweeter is at
ear-height.
The diagram to the right demonstrates the
ideal placement height of the speakers
relative to the listener. Notice that the
listener's ears are directly between the
woofer and tweeter.
