M-Audio Studiophile BX8a [4/10] Front panel features

Studiophile BX8a

English

Unbalanced 1/4” wiring can be done with either a two- or three-conductor (TS or TRS) plug. A two-conductor

(TS) plug automatically grounds the signal negative input, whereas a three-conductor (TRS) plug, wired

unbalanced, provides the option of leaving the negative input open or grounded. We recommend that

you ground the unused negative input (this can be done by wiring the ring and sleeve of the TRS plug

together).

The TRS input is summed through a balanced input ampliﬁer with the XLR input, allowing both inputs to

be used simultaneously. Input speciﬁcations apply to both.

3. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION: This label contains the model and speciﬁcation information.

4. SUB-FREQUENCY VENT PORT: This port aids in reproduction of very low frequencies by discharging

frequencies below 30Hz.

5. VOLUME CONTROL: Use the volume control to set the output sound pressure from the BX8a to

proper levels as required.

6. POWER RECEPTACLE: Accepts a detachable 3-circuit line cord in order to power the monitor.

7. FUSE HOLDER: Holds the external main fuse.

8. VOLTAGE-SELECT SWITCH: Provides two selections, 115V AC and 230V AC, and should be set to

match the “house supply” (receptacle) voltage of the country or location in which the speaker is

used. The 115V setting is correct for the USA and Japan, while the 230V setting is correct for most

of the UK and Europe.

9. POWER SWITCH: This switch turns the monitor on and off.

Front Panel Features

The front panel houses the Power LED, which indicates whether the speakers (ampliﬁer) power is on or
