Power Switch/Clip Light- This bar turns blue when the M1Active 520/620 is powered up (the power switch is found on the top of the speaker) and the bar turns red when the speaker is being overloaded. 2. Acoustic Waveguide- Besides giving the speaker its devilishly good looks, our distinctive silver acoustical waveguide helps spread the tweeter’s high frequency sound evenly across your control room. 3. Tweeter- Our silk dome tweeter is designed to handle all frequencies above 3 kHz. This driver was carefully selected because of its ability to match the woofer and provide crystal clear sound without ear-fatiguing harshness. 4. Woofer-The ultra-light, super-stiff material found in our woofer cone helps the M1Active 520/620 deliver punchy bass and solid midrange (even at loud levels) without distortion. Back Panel 1. TRS Input – This .” input accepts balanced “TRS” or unbalanced “TS” cables from your mixer, computer, or any other line level source. Both types of cabling will work, but we recommend balanced TRS (or XLR) cables since they give you better performance and lower noise (especially if you’re using longer cables). 2. XLR Input – This jack functions exactly the same way as the TRS input (see above), but it uses balanced XLR cabling. 3. Gain – This knob sets the input gain of the speaker. Use this knob to set a comfortable loudness level for monitoring. 4. Rear Port – The rear port augments the bass generated by the woofer to increase the low frequency SPL over that of non-ported speakers. Make sure this hole is not obstructed since this will adversely affect bass response. 5. Acoustic Space Switch – This switch compensates for placement near walls and corners. Both XLR and TRS connectors have been Please see section titled “About the Acoustic Space provided for your Switch” for more on these settings. convenience, but please use only one connection at a time to avoid overloading the 6.
