XLR Input: This jack accepts XLR input
connections
unbalanced wiring. The input wiring of an
XLR connector should be as follows:
• XLR Pin 1: signal ground (shield)
• XLR Pin 2: signal positive (+)
• XLR Pin 3: signal negative (–)
2.
TRS Input: This jack accepts 1/4" (6.35 mm)
connections
unbalanced wiring. For balanced wiring, a
three-conductor TRS plug is necessary. The
input wiring of a TRS connector should be as
follows:
• TRS Tip: signal positive (+)
• TRS Ring: signal negative (–)
• TRS Sleeve: signal ground (shield)
3.
Acoustic Space Switch: Your BX8 D3
monitors should ideally be placed at least
one foot away from the nearest wall, ceiling,
or other large, flat surface. However, this may
be impractical due to space limitations within
your studio. For that reason, BX8 D3
monitors feature an acoustic space switch.
This switch compensates for placement near
walls.
Tip: Be sure to leave at least 3" of space between the rear of the speaker and a wall to allow the
rear-firing port to "breathe" properly. Placing the speaker any closer than 3" may adversely
affect low-frequency response.
4.
Sub-Frequency Vent Port: This port aids in reproduction of very low frequencies by
discharging frequencies below 60 Hz and to act as a cooling mechanism to prevent
overheating. This port should not be blocked.
5.
Volume Control: Use the volume control to set the output from the BX8 D3 to proper levels as
required.
6.
Power Switch: This switch turns the monitor on and off.
Note: This product does not have a standby/low-power mode.
7.
Power Receptacle: Accepts a detachable 3-conductor IEC power cord in order to power the
monitor.
8.
Fuse Holder: Holds the external main fuse.
9.
Voltage-Select Switch: Provides two selections, 115V AC and 230V AC, and should be set to
match the "house supply" (receptacle) mains voltage of the country or location in which the
speaker is used. The 115V setting is correct for the USA, while the 230V setting is correct for
most of the UK and Europe.
