Input Sensitivity This control is used to compensate for different signal
levels that appear at the input. The control has a 20dB range; when set at
maximum (MAX), 0.5V RMS input at the balanced ins or 0.25V RMS at the
unbalanced in will produce full amplifier output. Note that when the signal
appearing at the input is too hot, the amplifiers may overload, causing
distortion. If this occurs, attenuate (decrease) the Input Sensitivity by
turning the control counter-clockwise.

Power Switch Push to turn the amplifiers ON; push again to turn them
OFF. When the amplifiers are ON, the green LED located in the metal trim
ring on the front of the monitor will illuminate.

Power Connector This connector accepts the detachable AC line cord.
Use the line cord supplied with your monitor, and make sure it is fully
seated into the Power Inlet connector. For safety reasons, do not attempt to
defeat the line cord’s ground connection.

Care and Maintenance

Your Tuned Reference monitors are simple to care for and maintain. The
cabinets are finished with a durable vinyl laminate that can be cleaned with
a soft damp cloth. Avoid touching the exposed speaker elements. Do not
expose the rear panel controls, connectors, or the speaker elements to
moisture or chemicals. Do not expose the unit to dripping or splashing
liquids; objects filled with liquids should not be placed on the unit.

Caution: When the power switch is off, the internal amplifier components
are still connected to the AC mains. The AC mains fuse is internal and
serviceable by a qualified technician; it will only open if there is another
problem. Please refer service to qualified personnel.

Mix at reasonable levels to protect your speakers and your hearing.
