3. Налаштування

3.1 Розпакування та початковий огляд

Carefully remove the monitor from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. If any damage is found, contact your dealer immediately.

3.2 Розміщення

Proper placement of your studio monitors is crucial for accurate monitoring. Position the monitors to form an equilateral triangle with your listening position. The tweeters should be at ear level. Avoid placing monitors directly against walls or in corners, as this can exaggerate bass frequencies. Utilize the Acoustic Space controls on the rear panel to compensate for boundary effects.

3.3 Підключення

The Eris E8 XT offers flexible input options. Ensure all audio connections are made before powering on the speakers.

• Вхід XLR: For balanced connections from professional audio interfaces or mixers.
• TRS (1/4-inch) Input: For balanced or unbalanced connections from audio interfaces, mixers, or other audio equipment.
• Вхід RCA: For unbalanced connections from consumer audio devices.

3.4 Увімкнення/вимкнення живлення

After making all audio connections, plug the power cables into the power inputs on the back of the speakers. Then, flip the power switches to the 'On' position. The PreSonus logo on the front will illuminate.

4. Операційна

4.1 Регулювання гучності

Adjust the overall output level of the monitor using the 'Level' knob on the rear panel. Start with a low volume and gradually increase it to your desired listening level.

4.2 Елементи акустичного налаштування

The Eris E8 XT features several acoustic tuning controls on the rear panel to help you optimize the monitor's response for your specific listening environment.
