Volume control
With active monitors like the T5V’s, the volume control isn’t used like a conventional volume knob on a hifi system. The volume is turned up and down from your computer or mixer, and the control on the studio monitor is used to balance the relative levels of each speaker. This is for getting the optimum stereo image when the monitors are placed in an asymmetrical room.
High frequency switch
This is a high shelf equalisation filter which affects the higher frequencies above 5kHz. This is a similar range to the treble setting on a hifi. There’s three settings:
· 0dB has no effect
If your monitors are placed well (see below), and your room is reasonably symmetrical, it’s best to leave the high frequency switch on 0dB for a flat response.
· +2dB boosts the high frequencies
If you have a lot of acoustic treatment targeting only the higher frequencies (eg foam panels), rather than the bass frequencies, you might need to switch on the +2dB to compensate.
-2dB cuts the high frequencies
Use this setting if your listening environment has too many reflective surfaces, and is causing the T5Vs to sound too bright.
Low frequency switch
This is a low shelf equalisation filter which affects the lower frequencies below 300 Hz, similar to the bass control on a hifi. There’s three settings:
· +2 dB exaggerates the bass
If you play back some reference tracks you’re already familiar with, and notice the bass is getting lost, try implementing the +2dB setting
· -2 dB reduces the bass
As the speakers are rear ported, there’s a risk they become too boomy when placed against a wall. Engaging the -2db cut will help to counteract this.
· 0dB has no affect
Every environment is different, so it’s best to put the monitors in place without any switches activated at first. After some hours of listening, and once you’re familiar with the sound, see what the eq settings sound good.
Input sensitivity switch
The input sensitivity switch toggles between +4db and -10db.
Set it to +4db when using the balanced XLR input, and -10db when using the unbalanced RCA input.
